Default blown axle

i replaced my passenger side axle like 3 months ago, it was a bit jiggly like 3 days ago, i could hear it knocking around. i took off pretty fast yester day, bam snapped one of the joints on the tripple roller joint on the inner end of the axle. when i hit like 20 it was very wobbly. so i swapped out the axle for a new one, but i noticed something, i can wiggle my wheel hub around. if i grab the rotor, it looks like the little spindle hub in the steering nuckel can wiggle. i just had the wheel bearing replaced a month ago, so i dont know if i should be concerned with that??
just to know how can you tell if the axle is ment to be bonded, or greased. ive just been greasing the axle. and the manual says to torque the inner joints 6 bolts to 75nm, feels like there gonna snap at 45, so i just stop at 45.. is that what blew my axle?? my biggest concern though is wobble wheel, and the vibration im getting at 60+ with tires and balance and alignment.
