I have hit a speed limit sighn with the front passenger side of my car. I have already replaced the cv joint but it keeps coming back out of the transmission. i have looked and I can't see any damage to any other parts but it has came out 3 times already and i was wondering what would be the most likely reason. Thankyou

Hello Most of the time there is a clip ring on the end of the axle that holds the shaft in. Sounds like you don't have that on there or, you are not pushing it in far enough. I don't have a good pic for your car that shows the clip but the red arrow on this shows where it goes. Stop by the auto parts store and ask to see an axle in your model and look at the end.
