Early axles broke at the end of the splines, out side the
differential, but this was the result of radial fractures originating
down the face of the splines to the center of the axle. Both the
metallurgy and the machining have changed since then an other than
racers does anyone break an axle these days?
Knock on wood, I have not lost an axle since around 1965.
