What part is this?

While coming to a stop my car jerked to left after hearing a small pop . The handles felt a bit different after this occourance so I looked inside my driver side wheel wale and for d this,

your axle? yeah, it looks f**ked

That looks like your drive axle from the tranny to the CV joint. Its suppose to have a boot on it with lubricant grease. The fact that is has no boot at all and very little grease means it was waiting to break. This is how its suppose to look like...

You should not drive that car another inch because it could snap off while driving. Have it towed to a reputable shop for repairs. Inspect both sides and if anything else has a poorly worn out boot like that, have it all replaced.

Its not your axles, Replace inner tierod, outer tierod, and bellow boot. Recommended to have both sides done and get an alignment immediately.

Is it? My mistake.

 

[whitesedan]

Yup, from what I can tell from his explanation and pictures, it's the tie rods..

I didn't realize it's way my first post...
