the differential, the axles, the ring gear, the pinion gear, its all weak. I've seen each one of these components be the broken item in any given 10-bolt that failed

FB is right, i're primarily broken pinions first and ring gears as a result, but it's axles, carriers, ect.. that goes as well.

it's size is the week link. If you could see all the 7 5/8's 10 bolt components next to the 12 bolts or 9" you would understand.

I've broke a Torsen, Carrier Bearings 2 times, and then busted the ring and pinion (3 ring gears broke off and cracked like 10 other ones) lol.
