[QUOTE="bumpin_blazer, post: 5642319, member: 541793"] There's no way that 10-15mph accident will do that unless you've got that much stress on your axle already from the suspension modifications. I can say if you have chrome 22" Gionvanni rims they probably weigh in with tires around what 50-55lb per corner compared to the stock weight on that car is probably 1/2 that or at least 15lb lighter. Throw in if you lowered the car and left stock parts on the rest of the car that'll help bust things easier too. Either way, I don't think that 10-15 will do that, I snapped my rear axle on my GMC Jimmy back when I was in high school and dumb enough to try and throw out the rear end during the rain. I took a turn at 25mph and lost control and snapped the axle but we're talking about my going 25mpg and then hydroplaning almost 360 degrees to snap the rear axle. Even then though it didn't fully snap it just bent the crap out of axle. [/QUOTE]
