You're considering selling after an axle mishap that I'm quite sure was a result of the accident and not your driving? Have you seen my video here? Laying down burnouts right on into second gear with no problems.

Anyway, I haven't heard of any broken axle's with any of the press cars that got completely tortured.. or any other's (that are accident free) for that matter.

He already said, in his original post:

i thought about taking it to the dealer but... thinking about the time and fighting over the warranty issue is just going to give me a bigger headache knowing that they will blame the coils and see the other aftermarket parts i have on the car and think i drive the car hard all the time.

Not if the failure can be linked to his accident which, according to his report, included suspension damage.. Personally I would go back to the insurance claim as there is a good chance this is additional residual damage from the original accident.

I think the insurance claim is the way to go. This sounds like an accident issue to me.
