Picture this...
Disco_Stu:
You're driving along, windows down tunes on just enjoying the weather. Only 300 yards from home on your way to have some lunch.
All of a sudden, you feel a bit of vibration from under the truck, "ooh, that's new, have to have a look at those UJ's again" methinks.
5 seconds later, BANG. Stop, Stop, STOP, don't hit the wall, phew, just missed it.
That's what it feels like when your rear axle snaps Sad
Or at least the trailing arm bracket anyway.
So, damage:
Rear arch chewed up
Prop bent from ground impact
Axle <edit>
Cut me toe cos I was wearing flip flops....
And who knows what else till I get it home and have a better look.
Sometimes I really love my disco. This ain't one of those times...
Stu.

Very glad you're okay.
If you can get any close up piccies of the bit that broke, I'd be very intertested indeed.

You could do the same to the other one and have a LWB Disco?
