A rear axle can snap due to several factors, including excessive stress from heavy loads, poor maintenance leading to wear and tear, material defects, or sudden impacts like hitting a pothole. Additionally, improper installation or alignment issues can create uneven stress on the axle, increasing the likelihood of failure.
