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.

It looks like I found the problem.The time the car was hit I changed the control arm on that side and did a wheel alignment on the car. I believe that they did the wheel alignment incorrectly and this caused the first axle to become damaged. I just did a wheel alignment today on the car after getting it today and the car is running great. When they did the alignment the cars toe was way off on one side and this is why I believe the axles where stretching and becoming damaged. Thanks for all your input 6gc well appreciated.
