Default weird sound from front end

guys,
Im experiencing a lound wobble/clunk noise in my front end at high speeds after i let my foot off the gas pedal, this happens alot when i am going down a big hill or going up a hill at high speeds driving on interstate highways. Ive already replacaed both axles cuz they were broken already. but the noise is still there.??? any ideas? (97accord lx)

coming from the left side mostly, then rite the other times

The radius rod is between the front cross member and the lower control arm. I can't really remember the sound that I would here but I know everytime I shifted I would here a loud clunk
