yes. i have seen numerous axles snap, twist the spline, c clips break and the axle start to walk out of the axle tubes, axle tubes turned into a smiley face.
they are a great axle

edit: forgot about chipped ring gears. d35 is the number one axle we work on here in the shop

Hey xjoffroad, you want to give me some good tips on how to blow up my d35? I got some fullwidths on the way and figure ehhh screw it. Keep in mind I don't have a locker, but I do have 33s.
