A twisting motion of the axle. The rear axle being more problematic, the driveshaft yoke at the axle will point itself upwards.

axle wrap is more prone to leaf sprung vehicles.

For the most part yeah, but if a 4 linker doesn't have enough separation between the upper and lower links, or the axle mounts are mostly above the axle's line, it'll happen.

I know, but I was just stating that its a more common thing to hear about from leaf sprung vehicles.
