I was driving down to L.A. 'bout a year ago and the CV joint, on the passengers side, went bad on the freeway just as I was getting into town. It was fine if I kept a steady speed or while accelerating, but as soon as I would start to slow down the car would pull to the right so hard I had to muscle it straight. Not to mention it felt like a jackhammer was pounding the wheel hub! Scared the crap out of me, thought all my lugs on the wheel were coming off or something.

I pulled into a 7-11 to check it out and the lugs were fine. Couldn't figure it out right away, then I noticed the CV boot was ripped to shreds and I was like "OH FAWK!" I decided to brave it and finished the trip. I finished my business in L.A. and drove back home like 300+ miles with it like that. Scariest trip I ever made by myself.
