On the early cars, the inner CV's have been known to rub on the lower control arm as the suspension oscillates. To correct this, Superformance has been using a differential bracket that raises the diff 1/2" higher. This raises the CV away from the lower control arm. You can order a new one from Hillbank, although squeezing the new one in position will make you contort into odd positions. Ask me how I know.

I'm guessing that your boot let go, grease went everywhere, and then failure.
