Im sure you've seen broken axles before, but hell, why not post them! :burnout:

The thing that really erks me is that the axle messed up the diff (cosmetically) which will make it very hard to get what the diff is worth. RATS. :(

But honestly, the one detail that surprised me the most was this: The DRIVERS side axle broke. WTF? :confused: :dunno:
I would have guessed the passenger side would have went due to how the car leaves under high load. Whatever.
I got the Moser axles and Cobra Diff waiting to go in.


Also, I priced out ABS rings, $120 for the pair :eek: I dont think so.
I carefully took a metal chisel and knocked them off the old axles, but one of them has a hairline crack in it. Remedy: Cleaned the mating surfaces real good with sandpaper and brake clean, then Used Green threadlock and a clamp to make sure the ring stays on the axle permanently. FLAME AWAY. :argue:

My driver side did the same thing, its because your weight on that side generally isnt gonna help things.
