Most likly a bent or out of line housing as the axles turns its moving in the side gear and wears the spline but the splines do wear and once wears starts it keeps wearing on a encreasing scale until failure.

Thats what I was thinking, I just couldn't work out why my spare was worn too as it came out of a different housing. I know mine is a little bent :oops:
