Dear All,
While parking a heared a snapping sound and I believe my outer front CV joint is gone.
The drive shaft is movable quite a bit inside the cv boot.
I have a decoupler and the bus drives ok.
Need to drive back home (1000km). There is no chance of getting a new cv joint before I get home.
Do I have to remove the whole joint though?
Or can I just drive back home.
Anything that could happen if I leave it in?

I am a bit surprised that I had no warning befoer it happened. And even now it makes a "clonk" only once in a while...

Thanks for your help. Lukas
