Broke both front axles and need advice

[mteolus]

The axles are cheap relatively speaking. I broke my fronts. The main concern is any damage to the front differential. I had to wait almost 5 months for a new diff...all the while the undriveable truck sat on the shops lift. Toyota even confirmed the diff was in stock..still took months.

Edit to add, in my experience with snapped front axles, you hear a metallic clicking noise. The tires dont move and when snapped sag out of alignment and do not appear to be straight with the road. You wont be able to drive it and wheels look like they will fall off. Its a mess...

I think in this case the CV joint was broken, not the axles.

Thanks for the info. Gave them a call and they have a huge back log right now. He did tell me they send out the axles to be rebuilt so if I do end up having to pay for it Im probably going to oull them and take them someplace.

what part of DFW are you in? Need help swapping the axle? I have been known to open my garage and lend a hand for pizza and beer.

I appreciate the offer. Up in the Lewisville area. The extended warranty company took care of it.
