I was surprised it was the axle . When it broke I thought for sure it was the differential seeing that the diff. Is still the stock one .

just make sure not to over torque the nut, the newer hubs are not like the old ones that set the pre-load on the bearing. when you tighten a axle nut in any 5th gen axle its actually a solid part its going thru (Hubs are warm formed, inner edge is rolled over the race) if the torque is to high it can break the thread area right off, go with Factory spec on them.
