Default my inner CV joint bearing was loosing out this morning.

Yesterday while I was drving my car back home.I feel that the steering wheel wasn't on the center. but I think that it could be from the bad tie rod end or something.Until this morning,
I was driving my car for only 30metres from home.Suddenly,the car start shaking massively,some sound of rubbing was coming out.So i hit the brake.and then there're 2 small bearings were racing in front of my car.It's inner CV joint bearings.Damn it!!!. the wheel was sticking on the fender.
the car couldn't be moved.one CV joint bearing
was missing.I called my mechanic to remove the
CV joint assembly and brought my car to the garage.anyone ever had this experience?

You crazy sonofabitch. Even I don't use the widowmaker jack. That's more insane than skydiving.

Default sounds like the control arm or sway bar end - which locates the strut - has come loose

I would take a close look at this.

Default Translation : "never raise up your car using the stock jack ever again you dumb schmuck"

It really is flimsy and easy to fall over. Only worth the risk if replaceing wheel in an emergency

Get a real jack for doing work, or get it towed to a shop.
