Rear axles - February 13, 2000 09:21 pm UTC

My right rear axles decided to pop out today. This is the second time. Does anyone know why, because my second talon has never had this problem. Need help fast??????

Are we talking 2G or 1G AWD? If it's a 1G, it can only pop out of the diff (because it's bolted to the companion hub on the wheel side). A 2G can come out of the diff or the hub assembly itself since it goes all the way through.

The only way it can pop out is if you have *a lot* of play in the rear suspension on that side. I would check everything (trailing arm, control arm, sway bar end link, etc.) for cracks or missing nuts/bolts. I can't imagine that anything back there could move enough to allow it to fall out without some real evident signs of a problem.

The car is a 1g, has non limited slip diff. Everything is bolted on IE sway bar links, and control arms. The actually axles has not fallin out competely, it just poped out 1/2 " or to the point that it doesn't grad the carrier gears in the rear end. It makes a awesome noise too! Anyone got an idea for this one??? Thanks for the reply ross.
