Hello 6gc. I have a 1994 celica gt and my axle keeps getting stretched and then it breaks. I have a new control arm. The car was hit in the passenger fender over the winter but I used that same axle all winter and all summer. The problem just started happening now, 8 months or so later. I have a new control arm and a new wheel bearing. Any suggestions would be helpful I used an axle from advanced auto first. Then it broke. Then I bought another axle from advanced auto, That one broke in two days of driving. I am confused. The original axle lasted for a while after the accident. But currently axles are breaking hours after installation. not sure what the problem is. Anybody can help me please. Thanks in advance.

Just a heads up, new members' posts are kept invisible until a moderator approves them. We had a spam bot issue a while back and this is just a way to keep the boys under control.

Where are the axles coming from? The CV joints are meant to have a little play in them but shouldn't ever separate while you drive. I know that the 5th gen axles are slightly shorter than 6th gen axles, and some auto parts stores sell 5th gen axles as 6th gen axles. I don't know whether that's the case for the ST or GT, however. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
