I was in drive through and when I turned I heard a pop It looked to be like something on the suspension snapped because the car won't move now unless it's towed. It looks like my axle or something in the vicinity is broke. I found three round bearings I believe covered in silver ooze not sure exactly but thought maybe a CV problem.

Hi,

I would agree this is the most likely issue. Those bearings sound like they are out of the CV axle.

I attached a few links here that will help but I have not heard anything that would make me think anything other than a CV axle.

So I've got the new CV axle in and also had to replace my ball joint now reassembling and having a hard time getting the castle nut back on the tie rod end to finish but almost there.
