Hey all New on here, but the 2nd GTR I’ve own. Thanks for letting me join. My driveway garage set up is a bit awkward. Drive way goes straight then turns left into the garage. I know with these cars at lower speeds and sharp maneuvering you get a bit wheel hops and pop noise occasionally so I’m kinda used to it. But today I was pulling out of the garage and turned onto the driveway and heard a very loud pop. Got out and checked and the driver side outer axle axle boot popped off and ujoints in there broke. Ordered a new axle I’ve replaced them in the past before but wondering if this is just due to the sharp turning at slow speeds or if there’s something else I should be concerned about. Picture for reference. Has anyone experienced something like this before? What can I do to prevent it in the future.

welcome
i replaced my axle nuts recently with titanium ones and noted that the oem nut was already loose.
i think this might be the cause. or is your axle broken apart ?
