Had replaced the broken first one this morning by a axle shop......didnt even make it out the parking lot before we heard a loud clank sound a then metal dropping on the asphault........so we put it in the air again....then changed out the axle for a longer one....the same size one as the driver side axle and it ran fine all day was going good then about an hour ago....on my way home it popped loose...the metal isnt broken it just looks like it popped loose....i have no idea why.......

1995 Accord ex Coupe F22b non-v 5 speed Manual..........

My car is currently parked in front and we are gonna take it back to the same shop again and hopefully work it out...but if anyone can helpe me with this problem before hand then please please please do.......already spent $300 on the front axles......and already broke 2 of them i dont want to do this all week....... Thanks for reading my post hope Someone has some advice its currently 10.pm so to dark to get pictures up but ill have up in the morning before i leave for the axle shop

I dont think both axles are suppose to be the same size... I dont think that shop knows what its doing.

did it break or just pop out? i don't think the axles should be the same size, if the shop didn't get it right the first time, they should pay for the new parts and for any damage caused to your car from your axle breaking while driving

check your motor mounts, specifically your firewall, or back, motor mount. If it's bad it will destroy axles left and right.
