got my mate to take my car out for a drive the other day before its goin into hibernation for a few months until i can drive it again.
cruised around for a few hours and on the way home we turned at an intersection with a really rough bumpy surface on it, i felt the back of the ute shunt and then a grinding noise.
i thought i snapped my panhard rod but when i got it on the hoist everything was fine around the diff
took the axles out to assess the situation and my right axle had snapped about 30mm up from the end of the splines.
i thought that they were meant to be strong axles that could take more stress than that as they were only replaced with new ones about 4 months ago.
