uhhhh, this is probably not the axle. more like a bad suspension problem that's causing the axle to pull out of the tranny.
check control arm bushings, strut mounts, ball joints, and engine mounts.

how much did you pay for you maxima again..?? not to trash you, but you was low balling every one here to get a good max for cheap. Have you done any maintaince stuff to the max.,.?? make sure you check it all out.. remember our max are very old. i hope that the next time around, you will spend the extra money to get a maintained max.. good luck.. I hope that all goes well in the future

I do know on my buddy's caravan he ate 4 axles, before they found out his subframe had cracked.
Replaced the subframe and viola' no more axle failure

I've been selling parts for about 10yrs now. and if there's one thing I learned it's that anything is possible
