Default CV axle milling away at shock lower fork

so i pulled my driver side wheel off to gain access to the lower part of my motor to the trans bracket....and i see that my CV axles has milled away at the shock fork????

IDK what would cause this.
i am using DA integra INT shaft, and axles as well.
4dr sedan knuckles
but i am still utilizing my stock lower fork assembly.

its concerning me bcuz i dont want it to snap in half and cause me to wreck.

any insight as to what would cause this??

I'm thinking the shock fork was on backwards?

two bolts in the rear trans bracket had backed out causing the motor to shift back and push the CV axles into the fork

im glad i spotted it as well.

i was driving in the rain, and accidently spun in second and i spun in third. idk what i hit, but it just spun like crazy and i had no traction..
guess sand and lots of rain water dont mix on roads by the beach =/

but i noticed my motor klunking whenever i would shift regularly, so i thought this isnt too good.

pulled over at an autoparts and i could push the back end of the motor up and down so i knew some bolts were missed placed.

so i babied it on the way home, granny shifting. i know my clutch could have killed me, but it will be all right.

took a total of 15mins to put two new bolts in, and torque em down
