Default 996 Cup Front & Rear Axle Wear Issues

Has anyone experienced or heard of front and/or rear axle assembly failures due to fatigue or wear in 02 and 03 cups? Are there known problem areas in the uprights or known failure points for control or trailing arms?

Any recommendation for replacing parts of the axle assembly based on hours, driving style, etc.

I'm driving a 02 with about 200 hours. All original parts as near as I can tell.

The half shafts, whether black or blue, are prone to failure after a limited amount of use. I'm just now replacing both of mine as a precaution after almost 3 years of use. When they do break it can have catastrophic results....
