Hi Richard -
The axles can build up cracks over time with alot of back and forth
application of loads. Generally not an issue on big healeys because the
axles are short (less tortional stress) and the cars are not heavy. I
broke an axle on my A90, easy to do!
That said if you are going up and down hills all the time, you can build up
stress fractures then it finally goes.
Thankfully a pretty easy fix.
Best,
Alan
