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. Over time, fatigue from repeated stress can also weaken the axle, making it more susceptible to breaking.
