05 SS right side axle came out, pics
I've never had this happen to me on any car. The axle came out right after I left my driveway. Was reading that lowered cars can accelerate the cause of axles popping out. The car is on BC Coilovers, pretty low. Any suggestions on what to lookout for? Or should I just buy a new CV axle? Does it make sense to replace them both, or just the bad side? Sorry for the novice questions. Also, what would be a good axle(s) to buy.
Pics will come shortly. Not letting them upoad through my phone for some reason.

ZZP Axles are beasts and best bang for buck.
The stock SC axles are kinda crappy IMO. On my SS SC the passenger axle fell apart when I jacked the car up a few weeks ago. Back in 2008 I hit a pothole while turning right and the axle broke. Probably had less than 20k on it at the time. So if the axle was past its prime then it's possible, but your coilovers likely accelerated the wear.
You can also pop them back together, regrease everything, reboot, etc. but its easier to just replace the whole axle.

Got both axles in. Does this look right to you guys?
Is it normal for both zzp axles to be identical?
Also, I lost a little bit of trans fluid, so I won't drive it until I refil. It wasn't a lot, but still.
