Well via my own research, I'm not going to risk destroying the cv joint so looks like the mamba is out of service until I replace it.... Sigh... I just really hope I can do this myself, I don't fancy the 2-300$ repair.

[Edit]: After seeing how easy it is to just replace the axle, I'm just gonna replace the entire axle instead. That way I'll have a lifetime warranty on it incase it rips again in the future. And with that being said, I'm just gonna keep driving it. I'll replace it on Wednesday or Thursday morning. I don't think it's going to go out on me in 200 miles of driving. It's not making any noise and there is still grease in the boot, so it must have just ripped recently
