I just got done replacing my ujoints. Was worried this would happen to me.

Break the yoke?

Or is that a sway bar? hard to tell.

Probably from the oppisite facing wheels creating too much traction on one side and creating a stress fracture on the joint.

Those are traction bars..

And YES it broke because of the wheels not facing the same way
