broken Tie rod causes Front Diff housing failure?

[drmiles]

Well, looks like my tie rod broke and the tire turned inward pulling the axle and breaking the front diff housing?

Has anyone ever heard of this, or is it even possible for the tire to turn that far, considering the front sway bar should act as a stop.

Now I am being told that this is not a mechanical failure and should fall under my auto insurance?

Am I crazy or does this sound like BS?


ps Still hoping the dealership can help!!
