hey everyone

this weekend i replaced my half axles. got new ones from oreillys. well when i was driving yesterday, i heard something fly out of the engine bay, and i lost all my transmission fluid. turns out my axle popped out on the passenger side. why is it that the axle wont stay in place in the transmission? could i be missing a clip? please send me anything you can that may help me diagnose this. im completely stumped. i would put pics up, but no camera. thanks all

Most axle shafts from oriellys are rebuilt. Not new. and your car may be a newer year model. after sept it goes to the next year model. check the under hood decal for correct year, not the door. it will say " this vehicle conforms to us/ california emissions standards for 19xx vehicles." if you have a problem like that repeatedly. you need to contact the franchise owner or representative. ( i worked there) thats the only way to get them to take care of this for you (tow bill, fluids, expenses lost or out of pocket, etc...

the dealer part will cost more, but be less hassle.

* Also does anyone know if the bolts need to be torqued?
