Axle breaking PSA

Dont know if anyone else has broken their axle, but please find my posts useful and or informative.

Also if anyone needs help with the removal and installation of the axles let me know. I promise I wont swear as much as when I was doing my own.

How I did it

Pictures of broken parts

DIY for rack and pinion swap, but essentially followed to remove axles

I am actually at stock rear height but with LCA's. Currently I am dropped and so far no more noises in the axles. Perhaps I had a bad axle from factory?

I bought used OEM axles off of eBay. Much better feeling than mine..perhaps better build than my newer than the first 86 but older than year 2013 releases. My car was June 2012.
