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.

Don't order one for a 94.
Order one from a 95.
I suspect they are giving you 5th gen (93) axles.

I also wouldn't rule out the fact that many after market axles I've had have been terrible.


Thanks Batman If the problem persists after I get my car on Monday I will Definetely order for a 95 whats the difference in the 95?

Do you think the steering spindle or knuckle could be bent causing the axle to bend and break? When the last axle broke I also had to change the Wheel Bearing. The wheel bearing was all apart Could this be due to a bad spindle or steering knuckle?
