Is it possible for a CV joint to slip out of the carrier without breaking? Mine is supported by just the boot right now, and I'm starting a new job tomorrow at 6am.
I need to know so I'll know exactly what I'm in for when I go to get my car tonight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Thanks! |

Retaining clip is probably broken.
Open it up and get the pieces out before they go into your CV joint and get all chewed up. |
