Default Knocking Driver's Side front tire/axel somthing...

Hey guys i've tried everything i can think of to figure out whats going on with my Drivers side front tire. Everytime i turn right, even just slightly right it knocks, the faster i go the faster the knocking is. My car is lowered with stock shocks (unfortunatly) and my car has rims and tires from a toyota corrolla. any idea's?

Yeah, It is the axle. I can guarantee it. the boot is probably ripped, and the grease has leaked out. Word of advice. Replace the whole axle. Do not repair, it is a waste of time. Go get you a new axle with a lifetime warranty, they are only like $55. Brand new is always better than renewed. Good Luck.
