Front Axle noise

[Mr.C]

Ok, so we all know about the rear clunk. Which I’ve had the rear axles replaced just recently and the loctite applied.

Well I took my XD about this weekend for 3 days. I was hearing a pop and clunk noise sometimes as I turn left. But figured it was another clunk. Finally today after work had the time to give it a good rinse. Noticed the drivers front axle has popped out. So I guess it get to take mine back to the dealer.

Well, that's a new one, I think that's the first front axle problem I've heard about.

Ouch, this is a first.
Maybe just collected dust but that spline looks dry,,,,,,,and crooked.

I agree it looks dry, and I think it’s the camera angle that makes it look crooked plus since it’s partially out it is sitting at an angle. I can slide it back in. I’m wondering if it’s not related to the pop/clunk/knock noise that some of us are hearing up front on left turns or just every once in awhile?
