Unhappy Next prob arrived too soon

We travelled 5000 miles in 2011 and we want(ed) to top that in 2012.

After a short drive some days ago we had a first 100mile drive (2012)
yesterday and it was just perfect (with one old hub... see the other threat).

Today we started for another drive (due to perfect weather )

Sadly we didnt manage to go just 1 mile. While travelling about 20 mph,
arround a corner, not to much load on the engine (half throttle)
a "bang" occurred.


Car still moves, engine has no prob.

There is a bang-bang-bang with wheelspeed (shaft-speed?)

After a short investigation (no oil-down and wheels still attached), we
returned home (SLOW) and put the car on jack-stands.

Engine turned off an no gear, just turning back wheels, there is this
bang-bang-bang again.

From under the car it sounds as if noise comes from the Torque-Tube
(less probably Banjo)

What happened there and how to fix?

Any ideas welcome - Thank you

Sad greetings (again)
Christoph
