negative camber causing driveshaft collision with gearbox -> ?

Hey dudes.
The quick run down :
1. we did my ae101 ZE conversion and used the ae101 box and shafts
2. dialed in -2.5 degrees front camber (yeah baby)
The guy at WA suspension warned me that he was worried that there was not much 'play' in the drive shafts between the hub and the gearbox. (maybe this is due to slightly longer shafts in ae101?)
He said that this could become an issue due to the negative camber as this can amplify the issue of the outer driveshaft being forced into the gearbox when cornering....does this sound ok or is it a known issue ?
Sure enough sometimes when I hammer a hard bumpy right hand corner i get a metallic clanking sound originating from my front left wheel...do you guys rekon it could the the shaft colliding with the transaxle/gearbox or just a CV or something?
P.S. Only noticed it on right handers...
P.P.S. My engine mounts are rooted so is it likely to be engine knocking around?
