The general consensus is that it was caused by...

- Being Canadian
- No oil
- Broken axle shaft as root cause
- Broken housing as root cause
- Fat people
- Failed rivets
- Pot hole
- Axle gear came off
- Poor trailering practice
- Sabotage
- Improperly installed bearing sleeve
- Jacking it under the diff case

Not medicine for a broken axle! A lot of elbow grease and money and good jacks needed to fix this problem and if on a tour need a winch to get it on a trailer, maybe even a crane for the back of the car.
