I don't think it is caused by bad casting, as the axles are not cast. It is more likely caused by the combination of a relatively small bearing and relatively low hardness of the surface.
Yes, it is a common problem in higher mileage cars or cars that have had impacts to the rear wheels.

My car only has 53K mi. and it has not been in any accidents. I do agree it looks like the bearings in my car were harder than the metal spray that is on the axle where the bearing runs...

Can you comment on the quality/craftsman ship of these axles?

The Moser Axles were of much better quality than the stockers. The Moser's look steel and the stocker's look like cast iron. I will be pleased with them if their hardness holds up.

Glad to hear they look real nice.
