i dont know if this is the right section or not but here it is. my baby :cry:
If u didnt know about 3weeks ago i was ridin about 40mph and i heard a loud scream the scrappin. i thought my tire or something came off and i was ridin on my rotor. but after i walked back down the road after i pulled over, as i was walkin back to me car i could see my rim looking at me. i knew from there it was bad. i know ppl who were in the area may have been scared cuz i was screamin and cussin a storm. :oops: lol well the cv joint came apart and axle was and due to that my car rode on top off the tire so my fender was bent up real good and my tire was done. it was down to the metal which i stabbed myself with when i pulled the tire off. enough reading and here are the pics. it was worst be4 i had it towed home. the tire was a full 90degree lookin at me from the back. but after we got it off the tow truck it straightened alittle.




then the first day i get it back on the road after gettin it fixed. i was in class and someone hit and ran my car. i will post pics of that up too later though. and i parked in the back where no one else was. freakin retards and cowards. :cry:
here is one pic. the others didnt come out too good so i will take somemore later.

Something like that happened to me once, I was driving a 92 caprice and the rear axle snaped . Luckly I lost power thru the dif and pulled over before it came completly off. The whole rim and tire were sticking out like a foot. .. f**king chevys

so now you all have me a little worried.... mecanic told me at inspections i need to have the right lower ball joint replaced... and i know the rubber boot on the axle is ripped in half... and my car makes a "thump" noise as the wheel spins but it only does it when i am off the gas and brake.... good god i hope this doesnt happen to me! guess this means it's time to get my crap fixed quick! unless someone knows what my thumping noise is...
