i need help, when i was in my driveway on my way to work this morning my drivers side front wheel just collapsed/broke. it is resting on the top of the wheel well. the passenger side is still fine. i was already late for work so i just left it there and bummed a ride. what the hell happened? cv joint break? ball joint? i dont know, i need help or suggestions on things to look for when i take a look at it. i read in a earlier post about getting a rebuilt axle for like $60, where do i get that? a junkyard? TIA!

check on your wheel to see if you have any grease on it, if you dont then it could be the recall... if you dont have any grease is could mean that your axle broke

When mine did it i was driving bout 10 mph and i heard a clunk, then my car skidded a little like I had a flat tire. I knew right then what it was - ball joint..my tire dented the fender pretty bad and was all canted looking. go to the dealer!

I would have to guess with one of the 2 lower contor arms. Look under the spindle where you will find 2 big nyloc nuts. One of them is probably gone. Late mike
