Default Problem with Axle ! Help !

Ok so i changed my springs to coilovers and i'm dropping the shock and then pushing that thing where the brakes and all that ****.

Then the axle seems to have popped out of the tranny, but the boot is still there but when i squeeze it i feel the end in there. I try to turn it and push it in and it wont. I started the car and the rotor and all that turn but when you try to push it in, it seems that it wants to go somewhere.

WTF just happened. The other side it happened to but i turned the rotor and everything and it slide in.

AHH !!!!!!!!!!

i'm fustrated HELP!

sounds like you popped the joint out of the housing. Only thing you can do is take the axle out, put it in a vice and try to pop the bearings back in. Just keep turning and and try to push it back in. Sometimes you get lucky and it pops right back in. If not then you have to take it apart, clean, re-grease and put everything back together.

This happened to me when I was lowering a 04 Civic Si but I caught it right away and managed to pop it right back in.

Yea sounds like the bearings came out. I had to take my whole boot off and line the bearings up, it was easier to do them one by one and slowly turn it as your push them in.

When you take the boot off you'll see what I mean. Make sure they are lined up right. When you get one in, turn the axle slowly and the next spot will line up for the bearing. You might need a new boot unless you can salvage yours, and dont forget to regrease, otherwise it will be a wasted effort.
