Default axel problem

my left axel is in a servere stage according to a mechniac i have recently talked to so my question is would you continue to drive your car? or would you get it fixed before you drove the car any longer? also lets say the axel was to completly give out what exactly would happen?

to things could happen

if its breaks inside of the joint: a real nasty sound, you'll probaly be able to make it home.

outside the joint it can slap all around the fron suspension and mess lots of things up, happins rarely

If it breaks in side the cup on the passenger side, you won't be able to make it home, unless you have a LSD. Best advice on Axles: Get new ones, and replace both at the same time. If one breaks, most places offer Lifetime warranty on axles. So just go down and swap em out.
