The problem with Husqvarna/AYP mowers that I been hearing of the last three + years is that a lot them even when brand new ( never ever used) are having toe problems which is the manufacture's fault.
Point taken about the impacts bending and the axle having stress failures. None these failures I have straight out have been with the axle; though, I had a few bent spindles. I see more bushings failures leading to spindle replacements; of course, new bushings are install in the axles. I even install a couple set of the heavy duty wheel roller bearings instead of the wheel bushings. These are those flimsy wheel bearings that JD sells as replacements for the wheel bushings that can easily work there way out if not properly shimmed and wallow out the wheel hub opening.
The truest measure of society is the how it treats its elderly, its pets, and its prisoners.
