Well.. one of the reman axles I bought not quite 2 months ago failed on Saturday. Fortunately it failed while accelerating from a stop.

It was an annular type where the input shaft bolts onto the axle. Aparently the bolts weren't torqued down properly from the factory.. and well I didn't check them. The input shaft disconnected from the axle. I haven't had time to get under the car and take a good look at the axle or the differential yet. Hopefully it didn't damage the diff when it came apart.
