One day I tugged on the shaft and the splines were already broken off due to metal fatigue. My car was a daily driver and has like 210 horse to the wheel. DSS did replace the broken axle with a new one, I sold the axels cheap and return to stock and everything is fine until today.
It sounds like there was a problem, and it was taken care of once the problem was diagnosed. Sometimes there are mistakes in the manufacturing process. It happens to every company large and small. Still, it's hard to forgive vendors when problems do occur.
