Hey guys I'm having a problem lowering my car. I recently bought megan racing coilovers and after installing them, a week later my right cv axle breaks. I later bought a re manufactured one and installed it. The axle broke right after installment a I was trying the car out around my block. So I got a new one and installed it. I pull out my driveway and I hear a noise on the side of the new axle. I get out my car and take a look at the axle and find that the rubber boot is twisting. I'm guessing it's going to break again so I haven't touched the car since. Have anyone experienced this?

The replacement axle is probably too short, and popping out of the hub or transmission side. I installed a Duralast axle and it didn't fit, but matched part numbers of most auto stores. Only Napa was able to source an OEM-replacement unit.
