Why did my CV joint disappear?

[Riff Raff]

What gives?

Apparently, the CV joint.

Did you notice any bending of the diff drop brackets?

Unless the diff deflected sideways enough for the shaft to drop out, it would almost have to break in half, or have an end come off, for it to be "just plain gone".

Good luck getting things back together....

Those darn CV Joint Gnomes at it again!

Something must have flexed somewhere to give it wiggle room. Weird. Be sure to check underneath for damage, make sure it didn't rip a brake line or pop a hole in a pan or anything.

I know VX parts are getting hard to find and expensive...but now your Texas VX bro's are stealing your axle shafts...Wow!

For a shaft to break in half while driving something (the CVs) would have to bind up. I have heard axle shafts snap before. It is pretty loud. I would expect if your CVs bound up that you would have felt it in the steering...espescially with only one. Keep us informed on what you find. Be sure to check everything out well for any type of damage that may have happened when it let loose.
