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.

Just a heads up, new members' posts are kept invisible until a moderator approves them. We had a spam bot issue a while back and this is just a way to keep the boys under control. Don't mms the automatically generated PM's. I'm just cleaning up duplicate threads, but this thread and all of your new posts are set visible as soon as myself or any of the other mids see them. smile.gif

Where are the axles coming from? The CV joints are meant to have a little play in them but shouldn't ever separate while you drive. I know that the 5th gen axles are slightly shorter than 6th gen axles, and some auto parts stores sell 5th gen axles as 6th gen axles. I don't know whether that's the case for the ST or GT, however.
