I'm not sure. Was doing ~70mph and the drivers side inner joint sort of exploded. I had to coast/limp the car 1/2 a mile to get off the highway (1am, pitch black, no shoulder), the axle was banging around like crazy, by the time I was stopped there wasn't much evidence left. All 6 axle bolts were broken, the cage and balls were gone, and the axle was just laying on my exhaust.
CA Tuned already has a replacement on the way, and I'll be sending mine back for them to look at. I don't see any unusual wear in the joint parts that I still have. There was no clunking, or any signs that something was about to happen. I beat the crap out of the car earlier in the day, had no issues. Rear suspension alignment seems fine, wheel bearings and diff are fine. Doesn't make any sense. The outer joint seems to move around fine (although I'm sure it's life has been compromised from that 1/2 mile of torture). My other axle is perfectly fine as well.
