[s-cars] Lucky '95 S-6 Owner

[Steve Powers]

it could be as easy as pushing the axle(s) back into a CV joint (the
one near the transaxle or at the wheel). the wheel becoming
disconnected from the suspension may have yanked it loose - they
attach via a clip.

on the other hand, it may be something else.

I hear a crunch and loud grinding noise from the vicinity of my right front wheel.  I got out and found that the right front strut had come off of the torsion bar!

After getting it all back together, I discovered there is no longer a connection between the engine and the wheels.  Absolutely nothing happens when I let out the clutch with the car in gear!
