If the constant velocity (CV) joints are worn out they can become so sloppy that they can separate. When that happens, the remaining stump of the axle will turn into a flail and beat thousands of dollars of damage into your engine compartment.
Happily, your axle will give you a long period of advance notice before it utterly fails. When you have a few minutes, inspect the 'boots'. They are Accordion-like seals that hold in grease and keep out dirt. If your boot is ripped, a cheap replacement will save you having to replace the entire axle further on down the road.

Can bad shocks make a car vibrate at high speeds?
If it is a front wheel drive vehicle, it could be your cv axle or bad struts. yes bad shocks could cause vibration ,but i know my car had a bad cv axle in it a while back. the problem was the cv axle was broke in 2. Take it to an auto shop and ask them to test drive it and see if they can tell you what the problem might be. but if its a front wheel drive car, then i would bet money it is the cv axle but if its a rear wheel drive vehicle then ask them to check your universal joints(U-Joints.)

How do i change the axle boot of a bug?
If it's a swingaxle Bug, they make a kit with a retrofit boot. You cut the old boot off and bolt the new one together around the axle. An IRS Bug requires a pair of circlip pliers and a CV bolt socket. Take the axle out of the car and remove the circlips from the axle. Knock the axle out of the CVs with a big hammer and a drift punch. Throw the old boots away. Clean and repack the CVs, put the boots on the axle, then the CVs on the axle, then the axle back in the car.
