Ill post more info a little bit but anyone have an estimate $$ fix?

Okay, so I was driving no problems anywhere, and sometimes when the car was cold and turning hard left I could hear a clanking from the front (I thought it was a frozen strut or something), skip forward to today and the moment I pull out of my drivway, CLANK, the thing that connects the front left driveshaft snaps. My dad and I took it apart and there's a broken star shaped circle thing. Looks like a reverse gear, (A torus shape with teeth on the inside of it). IDK what this part is called, and I'll try and get a picture of it. Basically we're having it towed to the shop, hopefully it's an easy fix. Any ideas on what exactly happened? I'm guessing I've hit too many bumps in the road and killed that part.

Lets see some pictures of the damaged part, it sounds like the CV joint let go.

CV joint for sure.

MW Enterprises, quality remanufactured Subaru Axles or OEM for best results.

Looks like it. I won't be able to get a picture until tomorrow morning but what's the repair procedure on this? Replace the whole axel or just that joint?

I would do the whole axle.

Can anyone confirm this is the part that would be needed? http://subarupartsforyou.com/cp_partdetail.php?partid=10477

That would be it, pics of your damaged one to confirm would be helpful.

Here. I assume there were some kind of ball bearings that were in between that and the wheel? Also my dad put the Axel back in but it obviously didn't mesh in and the wheel is free spinning.

definitely re-size those pics,
3,264px × 4,352px is a little excessive:icon_eek:had to save them to my desktop to make them out.

But yes, Axle.

Sorry, my power went out the MOMENT I posted those up and couldn't fix anything. Also, I found some of the ball bearing lying on the road. I should have payed more attention to that clicking.
