That's a damn cool school lol.
The axle can't "pop out", it's secured to the engine via a bracket. It is quite possible that the axle just wore out though.
So where can I sign up for the school that fixes cars for free?
Edit:
Since when was an 18 year old car old? Damn.. I consider my '93 "new" and my "98" almost brand new. =)
yea i no my school is dumb, but it really isn't the school is the stupid kids who go there, that are umber than rocks, if the school was paying for it i wish something more expensive broke, but now i don't want to jynx myself haha
