Usually, the CV joints or boots fail, rarely the shaft itself (unless is was previously replaced with some of the cheapo Chinese knock offs running around)…………

I broke it on my 928 once (weired, i know). Replacement is straight worward. Save yourself some money and get a used one. They last forewer if boots arent torn n grease remains.
