Does it make clicking noise when you turn right or Left? If it only makes a clicking noise turning one direction then the cv joint on that side is probably shot , if it clicks in both directions either both cv joints are shot or you have something rubbing somewhere maybe.

My left front wheel has like a jumping effect when I turn right. It's almost like it wants to skid... Could this be a problem from lowering and may be a camber kit could fix it?

I just had an accident on that left front wheel and had to replace the cradle and the lower control arm... could it be something alse is bent....?
I got an alignment on it btw and they said that side passed but my right side needs a camber kit...

any help would be cool

PMs be good

sounds like a bad axle(CV joints) to me. either replace your axle or pull your old axles and clean them out and put on a new boot. then apply new CV grease and it should be fine. Unless your bearings inside the joint are bad, replace the axle.
