530xi axle
 
After I lowered my car, the front left axle came out while I was driving. This happened three times already in a month. Anyone has the same problems? How can I fix this?

Seems that it's not being seated all the way. It should click. At the end you are pushing in should have a circlip

Something is REALLY wrong. There should not be that much tension pulling on the half-shaft. Check all your dimensions, as the only thing I can think would cause the joint being torn apart is some kind of frame damage, or replacement control arms that were too long for the car.

that's what happens when you lower an xi. you either need to raise the car up a bit, to keep the joint in its happy place, or get a custom axle made with a longer shaft.
