The latest report is that they can source both left & right front axles 2nd hand (as right isn't looking great). So while its all apart fix everything so its perfect again. Might need to be sitting down when the final bill comes in. Have already seen the cost of 1 new axle

Hoping its all together.... and working for a night drive this Friday.
Ouch! Hope it doesn't cost you too much.
I bought a 2nd hand front axle complete CV etc for $700 for one side.

HOLY COW!

It would take a hellava lot of torque to do that!!
Do you reckon that the axle was damaged - and that became the stress riser? (Where the splined shaft inserts into the socket) The pic looks like it wasn't pure brittle fracture, and that there's a fair bit of plastic deformation.
I like the swirley shear pattern on the shaft too! - best set of pics in the forum i reckon.

I've heard of cases at work, where rubber seals on big mining mill shafts have worn a really shallow groove - and the shafts have failed as a result.

Or maybe you just have a killer donk unda da hood! LOL

Best of luck getting her back on the road!
