So yesterday I took out my car to go to the store . Got to a red light then I took off kinda quick when all of a sudden I hear a loud clunk noise and car would not move anymore . I can just hear clattering so I look under and found grease all over the bottom were driver side cv axle the boot was torn . Could I have broken the cv axle on the driver side and that's the reason car wouldn't move anymore or did I break something else like the rear end .
something broke

Ok well I came home on my lunch break jacked up car and put it in gear and yep the axle is broken the part that slides in to diff is turning but from boot to tire the axle isn't turning.the bar is just jumping and jumping were it's not attached anymore at joint ...And so I been searching around for another and they are pretty expensive , even for the stock ones I wonder if maybe they can rebuild this one.
The axle does have components and can be taken apart and reassembled, but I am not sure the component you broke is available other than from cannibalizing another axle. There are aftermarket axle shafts, but they cost as much as new OEM axle assembly. See also: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forum...eral/689161-where-find-buy-05-half-shaft.html

No one sells 2-6 from what I can tell. They sell part 10 and the boots.
