Wait and see if the springs settle to see if your car will even out, and get an alignment to see if that stops the car from moving to either side.

Get thee to a mechanic to fix your noise. Axle noises rarely go away by themselves. Fixing the problem now may be cheaper than waiting.

Is there any chance that you put the switched the front and back springs when installing the lowering springs?

Damn. That post is so hard to read I dont even know where to start.

If you have accident damage, fix it before the car gets unsafe to drive on the road - it sounds like you dont know where to start, so take it to someone that does.
