Default HELLPPP...on the cv joint/outer joint problems

Here's the story. I got the car used (but still under warranty), and when I try to made a sharp right turn or clockwise turns, I heard a loud clocking noise in the axle area. To make the story short, Ogner Audi decided to replace the outer right joint under warranty. Then couple months later (which is now), I start to hear that noise again, so I brought the car to Ogner Audi again. Well...according to them, they are going to replace the outer joint again. But that's it. No more next time, because they said I had lowered my car and change the rims. Well..the problem is the car has that problem even before I lowered/changed the suspension or the rims. But all this time, the other dealerships just said they can't replicate the problem. SH1+!!!!!
I also just got off with AoA, and they said they will stand behind their dealership statement!

Guysss...helppp...what should I do??? I'm using the H&R cup kit with 18 inch rims.

That has nothing to do with the CV joint problem. Has the car been hit?

Default I don't think so (since I bought it used)

And the dealerships had verified that several days after I got the car. Don't you think they will found out if it ever been hit when they replaced the joint?

Any other clues or help what should I do?\

Thanks

Default Joints fail most of the time because the boot gets torn. Had the car towed?

If the car was wrecked and something is off it can sometimes pull a loint apart but I think you would have noticed things when the CO's went on.
