<div dir="ltr">Hi Richard -<div><br></div><div>The axles can build up cracks over time with alot of back and forth application of loads. Generally not an issue on big healeys because the axles are short (less tortional stress) and the cars are not heavy. I broke an axle on my A90, easy to do!<br><br>That said if you are going up and down hills all the time, you can build up stress fractures then it finally goes.<br><br>Thankfully a pretty easy fix.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Alan</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Sep 21, 2026 at 4:38 PM Richard Antal via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div dir="ltr">The right rear axle broke.
