Happened to a friend of mine. I tend to be easy on the gas, but I carry a spare yoke, just in case.

What is limiting your spring wrap????

I'd bet a dollar that your answer is nothing..

obviously your U-joint at the axle is binding, get the pinion set right and get some kind of bar to limit axle wrap and you will be fine
