So that was a no go and I went back to stock axles It seems like that the adapters having the centers machined out leaves nothing to hold the cv grease cap and internals in the cv so everything just popped out and broke.
Yes, I'm using the Maverick adapters with Nismo z33 axles

Interesting, perhaps bad axles? I haven't had a problem yet - the car however hasn't seen the track up to this point either.

I know specifically you can experience issues with these axles if you run negative camber, or don't have a wide enough rear track width to allow play in the joints with compression / rebound of the suspension (Why Maverick requires 0 camber on factory rear lca's). I am however running wisefab in the rear, which has widened my rear track to the point of fitting the axles great.

I will definitely post up if I begin experiencing issues.
