Just installed coilovers...now loud clunk...sigh

I just installed Tein Flex on my 05 STi, and my front right side of the axle popped out in the process of installation. I put it back in, it just seemed to slide in, no snap or anything. I was wondering what was holding it in. Now when I take any turn at a moderate pace, there is LOUD clunking sound from one of my wheelwells. I was going to take it in for a alignment... but now am scared to even drive it to work. Advice would be welcome...thanks.

Make sure you snap lock the halfshaft into place. IIRC is a male end so it should have a snapring. If you installed with the pillowball mounts, then it's normal with the teins...
