just wondering if anyone has snapped their front axle???? i did it last weekend, never heard of it happening before. it snapped about one inch from the spline. isn't the cv normally the weakest link????!!!!

A mate of mine was telling me he done the same thing snapping it off instead of breaking the cv bell!he launched over a rockstep and had the wheel pointed straight but was still on the throttle when he landed and broke the axel not the bell!
i snapped the splinned end of a rear axel on my old hj47 ute when it dropped of a rock step while still on the throttle!
