Darn. And I thought they were designed to snap so your diffs and axle don't break 
Anyways, so far seen one break on a relatively innocuous trail so I surmised that load & stress has to be coincidentally "perfect"  to explain why other people break diffs & axles while others break tie rods. I'm sure that the engineers have tested these components in the lab ad infinitum but not all load & stress in the real world can be duplicated in the lab. In any case they are to be had for ~$40 not $100 so use "Google" (but then again if you live in Hawaii, you do pay to live in Hawaii!).
