How do you tell if your axle is broken?

To determine if your axle is broken, listen for unusual noises such as clunking or grinding sounds coming from the wheels, especially when accelerating or turning. Check for any visible damage, like a bent or cracked axle shaft, and observe if the vehicle pulls to one side or if there’s excessive vibration. Additionally, inspect the wheel for any signs of misalignment or abnormal wear patterns. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have a professional mechanic inspect the axle.
