I almost forgot... you said you were bending the dogbonz... what happens here is one of two things.... when the diff cup broke it bound up the drive shaft and bent/snapped the shaft... or its not adjusted properly... do you have the little spacer in each diff cup.. it takes up some of the play in the shaft..and lastly... is the suspension binding the shaft suring up and down travel... try to spin the wheels on all four corners while going thru the suspension travel range on the truck... hold it in the air for this... if you feel any resistance or binding, fix it... the pillow ball adjustments are good for this.... then reset the caster and camber and your good to go... I found this out after spending alot of money by calling cen racing an california and speaking with andy or mike.... very helpful... Now, the truck never breaks anything unless I crash really hard.... then again... all trucks will break if you crash hard enough....
