Default Axle keeps popping off

I recently launched my gsr and broke an axle, i then replaced it with an autozone duralast one. since ive installed the new one, at high speeds (FWY) the axle on the passenger side, which goes directly into the tranny comes out just slightly i have to wiggle it back in place. is it a bad axle or something in the transmission?

oh **** dude you dont even know my buddy had the same problem and we thought it was the tranny....comes to find out that autozone axles SUCK BALLZ big time. My buddy went through 3 of those cheap *** axles and finally me and my other buddy rebuilt it with OEM ends that were laying around. Try buy better axles and if it still does it then its probley the trans but im most definetly sure its the axle

I love auto zone axles for the simple reason that you have a life time warranty on them. If they snap then you get a new one for free. Now tell me someone that can bet that.?

if it wiggles out then its the axle locking ring . but also make sure u have the axle for the right side because the splines are alittle longer then the side that has the halfshaft .

trust me i had the same thing happen pn the freeway i bet when it wiggles out alittle and the car is on tht axle shakes when u look at it while motor is on funny **** lol
mine was te locking ring

i had this problem but my problem was they actually gave me an axle that was too short, maybe about an inch. I think it was from a 90 integra. Then when I did get the right axle it only lasted about 4 months until crazy vibrations and clicking and popping. I guess its all the mad cRazy tork! from my 11.4-1 gsr... lol i dunno, they suck

good luck

yea its got to be the wrong axle. cuz even if the C clips arent holding they still shouldnt be coming all the way out like that. take it back and compare it to another one. cuz if axles could come out without taking of the ball joints ive wasted alot of time over the last 10 years, alot!

I had the same exact problem and here it ended up that the boot wouldnt let the alxle expand enough when going around a corner. So I took off the axle and slid the boot so the axle can expand and ive havent had any problems since
