Whatever - isn't the axel shaft covered under warranty?

He already said, in his original post:

i thought about taking it to the dealer but... thinking about the time and fighting over the warranty issue is just going to give me a bigger headache knowing that they will blame the coils and see the other aftermarket parts i have on the car and think i drive the car hard all the time.

Not if the failure can be linked to his accident which, according to his report, included suspension damage.. Personally I would go back to the insurance claim as there is a good chance this is additional residual damage from the original accident.

I think the insurance claim is the way to go. This sounds like an accident issue to me.
