To me it looks like thats not torque thats done that. I think its more likely that there was some kind of force acting sideways against the cvd (Most likely from drifting). I've never seen a pin bend like that before - large amounts of torque would make it bend in an 'S' shape, I can only think it is a sideways force thats made it bend like that.

I regularly bend titanium hinge pins in my maxx from high speed corners, where the truck wants to go one way and the tire won't let it.
