This is a text book break.... I just looked it up in a text book. That area is a textbook example of a fatigue break. Two beach areas, final break perpendicular to max stress. Huge stress riser. Fine grain steel is particularly susceptible to stress risers. I would guess that the tensile strength of the shaft is greater than whatever is holding the shaft in the shock body. I'm not doubting that the shock is too short, I just don't think that is the root cause of the breakage. Were the Proshock failures from being pulled apart?
