need help on drive shaft

hi, guys.
this days when i drive my EVO 7 GTA,when i make a left turn, there always some noise come from driver side, it sound like two metal parts hit each other or something loose......well, something like in the middle. and my friend told me its might be suspension, leaking or something else.

so i went to some shops and let them check my driver side suspension and other parts, but the answer i get back is everything is tight. and when we take a test drive, all the mechanic can hear the noise and they all agree is the driver side. and its only happens when i make a left turn. i told the mechanic took off the suspension and have a inspection. but they just keep telling me that sometimes even u took off all the parts and reassembl them, the problem still there. so better way to go is knows where the exactly problem is.

considering everything is tight, so they dont think its the suspension but it might be the drive shaft. at this case i decide to buy a drive shaft to replace my old one and see if that works, but i have some problem with the drive shaft.

my car is a EVO 7 GTA, and all the store i asked, they cant find any used GTA drive shaft, on the other hand, they do have EVO 7 drive shaft.

but i cant find any information to shows that they fit each other. what i know is they use same suspension system and same engine, thats all.

does anyone know something about this? cuz if they fit each other, i just go for a EVO 7 drive shaft then. or any of u had same experience before about my noise problem? please let me know how to fit it.

PS: this happens after i went to oversea about a month, during this time my girl drove this car and she told me she hit curb when she drove it.

Yeah, I'm almost sure the drive shafts are the same. The GTA is still a four wheel drive, thus mated with a transfer case so you should be ok with the Evo 7 drive shaft.
