Im surprised the axle snapped like that, I wouldve figured the cv joint wouldve broken before it sheared like that. Torque ftw.
The first gen Vs have a bad problem with wheel hop and are known for their weak differentials and axles. The majority of axles break on the differential side, which is much more of a PITA to fix(remove diff). The '06 & '07 have an upgraded diff and axles, but I broke that only with a WOT 1-2 shift..I suspect the previous owner didn't tighten the axle nut good enough....Oh well
