Default pics of broken stock axle

I heard a 'click' on one launch and spun hard through first and second, time was off .5 sec.. Next launch, 'snap' ....

the way the broken piece was lodged in the carrier I couldn't push it in far enough to remove the c-clip. So, several hours and using some home-made dremel bits, I slowly cut it away until I could pop it out.

It looks like this thing just exploded more then broke...

Broke mine in the same spot. Found out my tires were the reason. Switched to drag radicals. Stock torque arm?

passenger side axle is ok. I have a forged replacement pair from Moser going in anyway.

Yes, stock torque arm and drive shaft. Usually a 5-6k launch on Goodyear SS DR's

Torsen is basically stock except ARP main cap studs and a TA cover

Honestly, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. Quick fix for now, upgrade later..
