 Thanks for you comments, Alan. They mechanics doing the repair said that i=
t appeared as though the axle had sustained damage in the past. Perhaps you=

 Hi Richard -
The axles can build up cracks over time with alot of back and forth applica=
tion of loads.=C2=A0 Generally not an issue on big healeys because the axle=
s are short (less tortional stress) and the cars are not heavy.=C2=A0 I bro=
ke 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
