The axel on my car snapped, it is a chevy beat, called spark in other places. Anyways, when i bought it, it was fine, when i go over bumps, it makes noise like shaking a cardbox box with things inside it. It all started with me backing up, i was on a steep incline and my steering wheel was on full lock, then a very very loud thud sounded, like something snapped. I did not think much of it, then i was driving about 60km when i stepped on the brake and another loud thud occurred. It happened like 3 time and one day, my wheel was making noise, when i took the wheel off, i saw that the left axel has snapped. I went to the mechanics and told me it was because of the wheels that were protruding too much. I replace the cv axel, which was very expensive since in my place, chevy has left the country. Now, the right cv axel has made the same noise. I was wondering why this is happenning since i searched online and found nothing. Is it because the part is a duplicate part? or is it really because of the rims? the mechanics told me not to turn the wheel to full lock to prevent this from happenning but i do not know the reason since many cars use protruding rims. I am thinking of selling the car since i am a student and have no money to repair the car, i dont want to sell it but i have no choice because the new left axel, the one that snapped, made a thud noise, but the sound was not nearly as hard, maybe because it is new but i still do not want to take any chances. Someone please help me because i really do not want to break another axel.
