Default Clunking Suspension (HELP)

I have a 95 teg. My car has been lowered, but I thought that it needs to be lower. So I l adjusted it even more with coilovers.. Then I got on to the street and my car started to pull left and it was making a clunking nosie from the axle (Left Side). Later on the next day My axle snapped. So I thought that It might have somthing to do with my struts. So I put Some Tokico gas struts in the front and a new axle in yesterday. No it doesn't pull to the left anymore, but it still makes the clunking noise. Now it does the noise to both sides. Sounds like something is hitting it. I can't figure it out. Would it be a lower control arm?? I am on my 3rd axle this week.

Any advice would be helpfull... Thanks

raise it back up and see if it does it. probably something with your radius rods, control arms, or the forks of your struts.

did you get the upper pillow mount bushings torqued down enough, I had an expierence with mine after on the car for about 2 yrs. and last week I noticed all the strut tops and washers were very loose. it makes the springs and struts dance around on the mounts. hope this helps.
