So i was making a wide you turn when my axle poped out of socket i took a looked and it was clean pop out, the rubber boot went flying etc.
In the process of moving the car (AWD) up the flat-bed tow i think something got stuck with the axle and it bent the whole thing, i'm trying figure out what it is it's leaking oil.
The top picture is after, the bottom is before right after it poped out. Somehow in the process of moving the car it got tangled with this line ,power steering is hard seems related anyone know?

Likely it is just axle grease that has thinned out. Since the axles are flange mounted, you're less likely to have a bad cv shaft seal but I suppose it's still possible. The color of said "oil" should tell you what you need to know.
Ended up being high preassure power steering line wrapped around the axle, the problems continued and i went thru 5 axles ,had to change the lower control arm and motor mounts , lost all confidence in the car and now i am afraid the axle will popout again while on high speed drive, i am scared to touch the car now after this whole ordeal, i replaced motormounts/power steering lines,lower arms and went thru 5-6 axles.
