There are a list of tolerances that can stack and cause both failures.

Explain more?

Looks like the universal joint just popped apart... expected to see something (joint) ripped open.

Are you thinking the case cracked when the universal joint was 'jammed up'? Did the diff pull away/move towards the rear?

That's *very* scary- car could have easily flipped over...at 125mph.

DSS has a lot of horror stories. Another member on here had a failure just on the diff side. There was a lot of carnage including the fuel tank being cut open.

Would welding the crack actually hold up? Or should I just get a new housing.
