Default help with a shimmy and clunk

Hello all, this post is for my brother, he has a 92 civic coupe DX, lowerd with nuespeed drop springs some form of a camber kit and a set of 16" rims, (sorry not sure on the specifics) well her is the prob, when he turns there is a slight thud/clunk, no its not the cv joint we already replaced both. he thinks it could be the bushings i have a bad suspision that it could be the diferential. any suggestions??
P.S. the sound is "comming" from the passenger side

Are the springs properly aligned at the top of the strut? Are the struts bad? What size tire is he running (Width)?

I have the green Neuspeed springs on my 92 civic and they don't align by themselves. I have to slowly lower the jack as I hold the spring in the right position so they seat properly.

If he has 215's, then the tires are rubbing when he turns.

they are not green i am not sure if they are neuspeed or not and its not the width or rubbing cause it just started but i belive the springs are lined up correctly

Most the stuff I post just comes straight from my ***. I don't know what the problem could be.
