It appears this is the area of the breakage in my case. Groove gets worn and perhaps even a bit more heat at that one spot over 90 years. Maybe this spot becomes the "stress riser"?

I'm more worried about the transmission when they drive than the rear end. Crunch crunch crunch.
Hey, if it only breaks every 90 years, I'm good with it.
