I just re geared to 4.10 with a junk yard front end and the first time I put it in 4 low the passenger side axle tube twisted on me. Is there anyway to fix this?

Are you sure both diffs are 4.10? A mix of ratios will do nasty things.
When you say axle tube do you mean the shaft or the actual tubing of the axle?
Just wondering if you had a cracked front diff housing.

No I pulled it apart and counted the front teeth. The front diff basically rotated up and the tube the cv axle slides in stayed in place. From what I understand that tube is just press fit into the housing.

Has the tube mount failed? It should be clamped to the subframe by 2 lugs.
