cracked extension housing

Hey guys,
This happened to me doing 75 on the highway


I felt a vibration then boom!
Just wondering if the pipit shaft being bent may have done this?
This is my occasional light use no off road driver. Love the truck been restoring it peacmeal. Latley it has been giving a low vibration at 40-50 thought it may be a caliper hanging up and put it on the back burner. Apparently I was wrong.
Any ideas y this would happen?
Thanks!!

Could have been fractured before and finally let go. Look at the crack to see any corrosion.

Not sure on yours specifically, but all of the busted extension housings I have dealt with have been due to driveline vibration.

I agree I think it's a bad bearing on the t case. It had been grinding/lugging if u will occasionally like it wanted to bind up. On my to do list was going through the fluids etc. just did the rear last week. New u joints etc all the way around didn't change a thing. Like I said , was on my my to do list but looks like it beat me to iT😡
Thanks for the reply
