It is common to rust then the break off. So when you start and stop the axel will roll and stop and rest on the next bolt. Its NOT the splines but the actual bolts. Mine was the passenger side.

My axel had rusted so bad they could not get it out of the hub so I had to get a new axel shaft and hub!!!
We live in Arizona. What is this "rust" that you speak of?

Everything suggested is worth looking at, so when we have it on the lift I will take a look at the bolts.

Why I suspect it's the trans is because it really only happens on an incline and, fortunately, not very often. It hits HARD!
