Cv joint popped out!

Sup guys so I recently became a g37x owner and while I was pulling out of the gas station to go out tints on my
G, I heard a loud pop I stopped the car went to the front right side and saw that my axle popped out of the socket and took my power steering lines with it. At the time, the motor and tranny mounts were bad, I called the dealer and they took it and changed all the mounts, replaced the broken power steering line, and I believe they put a new axle in. I drove the car for a while and noticed that the clamp that holds the boot was loose, so I bought a new clamp and put it on the boot but now the boot is slinging grease I'm afraid the axle will pop out on me again what can be pushing my axle out? Can motor mounts/tranny mounts really make your axle pop out????




Does it look like it's coming out to you guys?

Sounds

I also hear little sounds on the front right side whenever I'm driving slow and I hit bumps I hear like a faint clunk also if I turn the steering wheel all the way to the left while I'm not moving I hear a clunk what could it be?

OMG is a big mess there...
That clunk migh be you CV joint that was NOT replaced but only fixed by the dealer...
Is cheaper to fix a CV joint than to replace it.
Still, a CV joint that was fixed won't last even half the life of a new CV joint.

Im planning on replacing it with a brand new cv joint seeing as the boot is leaking anyway... I just need to know if it'll pop out on me again because I might need time to get a new cv joint installed

Check the FSM. It's be much clearer than your average poorly-lit cell-phone shot.

Could the ball joint force the cv joint out of its socket?
