Guys,
If just one axle assembly is broken, and that can be a broken outer CV, inner driver assembly, axle shaft (you could see that of course) or any point at which torque is transmitted through splines which could have peeled off, then the car will not move. It is only necessary for this to be the case on one side, not both. As soon as one side is "disconnected" the differential will transmit all of the torque to that side and that force will be lost at the "disconnect". No torque will go to the good (connected) side. This is analogous to what happens when you park with one tire on wet ice and one on dry pavement; The diff. transmits the torque to the side with the least resistance (traction) which then spins on the ice, and the side with the most resistance gets no torque and just sits there so look for one axle assembly to have a problem. Stripped splines are often the cause and can be hard to find without disassembly. The splines where the inner driver plug into the differential bevel gear and the splines at the CV/hub junction are the main suspects. Often the car will try to move a little because the damaged splines will still have some grab until serious force is applied. Good luck
