Re: why does my fornt drivers side axle keep breaking on my Cavalier

It sounds like you might be getting the wrong half shaft for your car or you're not getting the shaft seated properly in the CV joint before taking the car for a drive.

Have any other mods been done to the suspension such as lowering the car or replacing control arms? How does the CV joint fail, does the boot tear and the shaft separates from the joint and boot or does it all appear to remain one piece? Is there a chance the problem is internal to the transaxle rather than the shaft failing?
