3200 miles out and then at least that much back seems like a trip that would
warrant an extra half shaft. Sometimes you can't be too picky where you have

Most half shafts break a short piece off at the differential end and to get
this broken piece out often requires disassembly of the diff.  Not exactly a
roadside repair operation.
