Where on the axle did it break? Did you have any abnormal vibrations after the initial repairs?

sounds to like they heated and straightened it rather than replaceing it :clap:
thats why it broke on you .

your talking about the CV joint? probally was damaged during the accident. It has bearings inside. Since there is a boot that covers it they probally couldnt see any damage. So the damage was done and it didnt have complete failure for months later.

Were all the parts new? Sometimes the knuckle comes with a new axle too. Thats usually how they come from the junk yard. Lot of insurance companies require body shops to use used or reconditioned parts now days. So that could be why it failed as well. Its hard to say. Id say its safe to say though once its replaced you shouldnt have any further issues.
