Hello 6gc. I have a 1994 celica gt and my axle keeps getting stretched and then it breaks. I have a new control arm. The car was hit in the passenger fender over the winter but I used that same axle all winter and all summer. The problem just started happening now, 8 months or so later. I have a new control arm and a new wheel bearing. Any suggestions would be helpful I used an axle from advanced auto first. Then it broke. Then I bought another axle from advanced auto, That one broke in two days of driving. I am confused. The original axle lasted for a while after the accident. But currently axles are breaking hours after installation. not sure what the problem is. Anybody can help me please. Thanks in advance.

QUOTE (richee3 @ Sep 27, 2014 - 10:37 PM)  How/where are they breaking? Any pictures of the broken axles? The first axle broke in the boot in the middle of the axle. The second axle was stretched and the whole axle was in one piece but when I came off the highway from work the car wouldnt move even though It was in gear. The car felt like it had a bad clutch but I had drove to work fine which is 40 mins away from my house. When I drove home the car lost all gears at the exit to my house got the car towed. my mechanic put in another axle. That axle failed within 10 mins after driving the car. I have not seen the condition of that axle or where it broke from because he just finished working on the car today. It broke the wheel bearing which my mechanic replaced as well as a new axle. I have not driven the car yet but I dont want it to fail on me again |
