Default Broken Axle Shaft

Im not sure what exactly went wrong here??????

I was shifting from 2nd to 3rd around 22-25mph and i just popped out instantly. all the bolts came out at once. found 5 of them within 50ft of each other a block from my house

were they stripped out? did you get the seal replaced recently? if they arnt stripped out someone forgot to tighten them otherwise that is a huge coincidence.

huge coincidence!!!!... i just took off the right axle and its the exact same. the bolts are NOT stripped. i never found the 6th bolt [couldve came out months ago] but either way 5 came out within >50ft literally
