Should i replace my diff?
Ok so my s2000 the other day broke the driver side axle....at first i thought it was the diff. I was turning onto my street and was taking it easy from 1st to 2nd.....after being in second It popped out of gear and made a terrible noise, me thinking it was the diff.....Well i took the car to a friends shop we took it apart, and saw that the axle was garbage, so luckily i was able to get a brand new axle from honda....Put the axle in and the car drove fine again. We all decided to go out to eat afterwards, and after driving back to the shop, The shop owner was driving the car in front of us, The same thing happened again and this time the passanger axle took a shit.....so basically both axles broke within 10miles of driving.
Also a note, I learned how to drive on this car, and have NEVER done a burnout or any crazy power shifting, I baby this car.
So my options are to either replace just the passenger axle and call it a day.....or pull the diff out rebuild it and put a better lower gear in as well.
I just would hate to find out it was the diff, then be cruising on the highway at like 80mph and another axle break again causing a terrible accident.
Just would like some input on either replace just the axle or replace the diff and make it better and replace the other axle all at once.
Thanks.

in all seriousness i don't see why you would want to rebuild your diff with lower gears.. just replace the passenger axle.. though your problem sound a bit iffy?
