Possibly, but not necessarily. If it is a half axle issue, it just depends on how and where it broke. Could be trans or clutch related, too...but lets hope not 
I've seen several cases where the axle-to-trans bolts fall out or break, usually due to not being replaced and torqued correctly after being removed.

Well, at least you didn't order from Pelican! May be a month I've heard!
They just worked loose? You didn't feel any wobble?

Well at least it's a cheap fix. It's good to use OEM bolts in this case. The last guy probably forgot to final tighten them. Don't forget the loc-tite.

come to think some roads that were assumingly smooth felt to be bumpy in the car over the 3 or 4 days before it happened. It would always smooth out though so i just assumed it was a bumpy section in the road. Specifically remember this situation the morning before it happened. I noticed nothing during the drive that the car broke though.
what the car finally gave in to was a quick tap of the gas in first gear pulling away from a red light, which i have had an odd sound comming from the rear of the car before when suddenly applying gas while pulling out of the neighborhood and such when the car was cold... likely linked... jacking the car up tomorrow to get a good look at everything and maybe get started with the repair, still unsure if the bolts are sheered or not yet.
Any suggestions on how to salvage the old CV if the long ends of the bolts are stuck in?
