I have 98 honda crv turned in my drive and wheel and hub broke away and it was bottomed out on my lower ball joint suspension what could cause this other then bad ball joints I guess and my axle came out also ---

Welcome to the forum… A picture is worth a thousand words… It sounds like your ball joint broke (separated) but since we can’t see the damage it is kind of hard to say otherwise… Here is a recent post about what seems to be the same thing happening to someone else… > [@Broken axle or could it be more](https://community.cartalk.com/t/broken-axle-or-could-it-be-more/191226): > > So i was turning at maybe 7 mph and this happened. i’ve been hearing a popping noise for like a month now but over looked it. ik the axel needs replaced but what about the ball joints tie rods or anything else. i’m kinda lost with this whole mechanic stuff. plz help ---

Good info above. One other question: Has there been any recent work done involving the suspension system on that wheel? ---

25 year old Honda broke something… Completely normal. Have it fixed.
