I was driving then my car made this loud noise I stopped and these bug silver bearings were everywhere. My car wouldn't stay in park, only if I had the emergency brakes on.

Hi,

Do you have a picture of what you found? It sounds like a CV joint came apart. If that is the case, the vehicle will feel like it is in neutral regardless of the gear you have it in.

I attached a pic of the axle with a CV joint on each end. Take a look under the vehicle to see if one has broken or come apart.

Let me know.

Joe
