No cracks! The stub axle just popped out somehow. I used a slide hammer and put it back in it went right back into place, and is fine now. I bet it did that from bouncing around so hard |removethispart|@ 4,000 rpms. NO MORE PULLIN PEOPLE OUT IN REVERSE!!!!! I took it out and thrashed it pretty hard today, and no movement. I think I got really lucky. Thanks fellas you all gave me solid advise all the way around. I really do appreciate your time.

if the stub axel poped out it means you have too much wheel travel (i think). i would be looking into the cause of the problem so it doesent happen again

While that may well be that there is too much travel, the stub axle is held in by a pressed in bearing unlike the factory housing where the axle just pops out. The stub axle is not easily removed and is more like the long axle of the front diff as to how it is installed.

I need one of those anvil things. I've been too damn lucky for too damn long.
