Default Axle break

Ever had the experience of breaking a rear axle, discovering it has broken in the diff meaning lots of hard work to replace it?

Recently I was working on the brakes on the C60S and when I was cleaning the axle prior to replacing it I found it had an interesting break - well it still worked but wouldn't have for much longer.

Have you seen one break like this before?




It looks like there might have been a fault with the steel. It still transmitted power of course but must have had a bit of spring in it!
