2007 Hyundai Azera 3.8 Unlimited Axle problem	Sign In

I had an accident with my 2007 Hyundai Azera 3.8 Limited at the driver's side a couple of weeks ago. The frame bent a little bit from the left side. Took it to bodyshop/mechanic and was straighthened back.
The mechanic adviced me to change the CV axle on the left side due to the CV boot coming off the axle. We bought a used CV axle from the junkyard and everything was fine until 2 days later when I made a wide left trun and I heard a cracking noise. Immediately, I pulled over and AGAIN the CV Boot from the CV axle has popped out of the axle again and up until now when i drive I hear a cracking noise when turning to the left. Even without checking the car again, the mechanic is still sauggesting its the axle I bought that I should buy another one

Please any idea of what I can do please. I've spend alot on this....Any effort will be appreciated

N:B - we also changed the hub in the process....before this problem occured

Here is the picture of how it looks now

Used is used. Unless that can somehow turn beyond limits the crackling sound when turning AND a split boot may have gone unnoticed letting junk in or just a bad half shaft. Boot is split. Check but most rebuilt ones aren't that costly and boots alone plus just one joint a PITA,

It's not worth messing with. You can buy a new axle (not rebuilt) for less that $70. Just replace it.
