cv joints

[aion at sdf.lonestar.org (E.Noval)]

Let me just put it this way... the wheel was laying at a 45 degree angle.

Since I broke down on the Triborough bridge in NYC (yeah you can
imagine the nightmare) the car had to be towed away on the spot by the
bridge authorities.

The NYC car yard it went to wrote it off as a broken axle.

I never did get to examine the car before it was repaired as I was
on the way to the airport you see, and by time I got back it was repaired
and back in my yard.

I wish I had a chance to understand exactly what happened, and how at that
time. Because I still think If I was going normal speed .. 65-70 that
would have been the end of both me and the car.
