Hi everyone,

I hope someone can diagnose the problem with my car. Several months ago, my front axel shaft broke--for reasons I am still unsure of--and so I had it replaced. Then, just a day ago, the new one broke again! This happened while I was turning a little (just a little) sharply around a corner.

I am very unsure as to why this would happen again, especially to a new one. I'm thinking that I must have not solved a deeper problem--perhaps its worn out ball bearing in the knuckle? Perhaps its the knuckle itself? ...my brakes were also a little soft lately, because I changed the braking pads a few days ago and I don't think I bled the lines properly.

Either way, Im unsure why a brand new axel shaft would break again, under only very slight sharp turning.


Any suggestino?


Thanks all!
