How hard is it to break a shock?

Tonight at the track, I came off of a run and went back around to the staging lanes, and I started hearing a clunk. It got worse on the next launch. I stopped and checked it out, everything on the Jegster Torque Arm that I just installed looked tight. It does sound like something is loose back there.

I am 99.99% sure that it's not the axle itself. I can hear every noise that the gears make, and this noise only happens over bumps. It did cause some axle hop on my last run.

I just wanted you guys opinions before I take everything apart tomorrow trying to find what I broke.

Thanks,
Allen

Checked the shocks out and they're both fine... Doesn't seem like I broke anything.

Maybe something just got stuck and then freed itself.
