So I lowered my car on coilovers and I had been driving for about 6 months. I hit a pothole on the road and my CV axle came out of the shaft. Passenger side manual transmission. I ordered a whole new aftermarket axle and when I put it on I test drove the car and popped out again when I turned my wheel all the way.
Repaired that same axle since it was new put it on again and got the same outcome. I put the damaged axle just like shown in the pics to see what was up and it looks like it might be to short. I’ve looked online and most of the axles are 37.5 in length. Can’t seem to figure out why this thing keeps coming out the shaft.
Any help would be appreciated.



Axle barely inside the shaft all bolts tied down:

 

So this did not happen when you had the OEM axle but it has twice with the aftermarket? Sounds like you should just replace with another OEM axle and that will solve the problem.

 

are there any good aftermarket front right cv axles? my boot is torn and car vibrates while driving. low milage oem from ebay?
