Yes this is a common problem on most models. The 23 series was suppose to be beefed up but I had mine break on a 2003 model. Crawl under and check if there are any cracks. Mine have broke in the tube I have never had an axle extension break I am not sure if this is what you are calling the axle. I do know of one axle extension that has broke but it was not on any of my machines.
