Default axle shaft pops out?~?

Ok so i got my omni coilovers the other day,I install them and to make things alittle easier,I undo the top balljoint and swing the ower control arm down,Install my coilovers,Put everything back together and decide to take it for a rip,Well it doesn't move and my damn driver axle shaft pops out of place,so i put it back in and it fell out today while i got on it alittle bit.

Why is my axle shaft popping out of the spline? or hub that it goes into??

Are you getting the axle in all the way? Does the car move at all then it pops out, or it just doesn't move?

It doesn't move at all and yes the shaft is in as far as i can get it.

Is it supose to just sit their like that? no clips anything? just slide in and go.

At the end of the CV joint axle, there should be a C-clip attached to the axle. This is to prevent the axle from coming out of the tranny. See if it's still there, if not get one from the dealer.

the shaft isn't coming out of the tranny,it's just the hub.

I don't want to make you sound dumb but you do have the axle nut on right? and torqued down to factory specs 134 ft-lbs right?

Hub nut is on tight with the one side punched in,isnt loose at all,hasn't even been taken off recently,Is their any type of clip inside the hub that holds the shaft in place? it slide out pretty easily

You can make me sound dumb,I just picked this car up 2 weeks ago,I'm a honda and FWD newb i'm a minitrucker,This is the first car i've owned with fwd

when you check the nut on the end of the shaft, you can see it when you take off the tire. Make sure it is tight and when you inspect it its always a good thing to us a flat punch to put a bend on the part of the axle that has a flat side on it. it shouldn't come off again.
