Default stupid CV joint

Damn thing went out on me yesterday and my wheel just poped of kind-of-speaking. any ways it was crazy. I did not get over far enough and this stupid publix truck starts to drift to the side and I saw my life flash before my life!( i was out checking it out.) He flew by with so much force it knocked me on my @$$. you guys ever had that happen to you?

cost of CV joint- $150
cost of Publix truck- $45,000
cost of food in the truck $3000
cost of Flash backs- priceless! :drunk:

Yeap if your not careful you too will be stuck on the side of the road for hours with crazy truck drivers watching your every move. waiting for you to slip then it is all over 10,000 points for the truck driver!

Just replace the entire axle. Its easier and costs less....takes abotu 20 - 30 minutes per side and total cost for both axles should be about $120 or so US money.

well it is cheap and only takes a few hours, depends on how lazy they are. But you never know it might save your life.

Wait WTF. When I did my engine swap I had my car with no axles and it had nothing to do with the wheel coming off. Unless that axle snapped in half and whipped around and smashed apart your suspension I don't see why it would make your wheel fall off unless you had loose lug nuts or something.
