Default Replacing u-joints

Doing some work this afternoon and came across this little mess. Had a ABS/ASR issue with loss of signal from the right rear sensor. I pulled the sensor out to clean it and noticed the gear teeth sheared off.

U-joints were part of the work. Car has almost 100K and some of them are clicking. While the suspension is a part bushings are being done as well.

Ron, I have not done a failure analysis on it yet. I need to bolt everything back together on the bench and look it over. One possibility is that some garbage got up in the speed sensor gear and tore everything up.
