cv axle got loose during hard acceleration
 
so
long story short
cv axle got loose during the drive
my fault
didn't use any locktite on the bolts
one of the bolts is broken and the "end cab/dust shield " shattered in pieces
anybody knows where to buy it???
I have problem finding this damn end cap.

Porsche sells each joint piece seperately. They have changed the joint internals over the years, but the end SHOULD be the same.

Just go to them and let them show you the PET image and pick your number.

Had the same problem before. Spoke to a reputable Porsche tech and the problem of the axles coming loose is remedied by putting Schnorr lock washers with the axle bolts; loctite is optional as long as the lock washers are used and the bolts are torqued down to spec and rechecked after driving.
