I did the same to a 12 bolt, broke the spot welds on the diff. but if you have a new one coming from warranty, id say its a good time to sell that now brand new one and upgrade. was it the housing or the shaft that was twisted?

seems like the cars with spools are twisting them. how many spline axles were they?

I cant see the pic, did you have upgraded shafts?

if your twisting axle's, upgrade your axles. if your twisting 33 spline axles in a 12 bolt, your going to twist 33 spline axles in a 9 inch. the reason a 9 inch is "better" is because of the extra .125" diameter of the ring gear and some argue the design of the housing.
