David,
     The axle shafts get used to being twisted in one direction, when you 
reverse that direction you shorten their life. On autocross cars some people 
paint a stripe down the axle shaft so they can tell if the shaft has twisted, 
seen one that was past 90 degrees and still working.
Regards,
Peter.
