I was a bit ambiguous in the way I described the axle when i found it. I placed my car on a lift and noticed that all six bolts that hold the axle to the rear diff had been unscrewed somehow. I have no idea how these bolts could have come off.

hahah I'm not exaggerating, the bolts were actually and completely off from the rear diff. Luckily they were all still present. The axle itself was still in perfect condition, nothing was broken. I used thread lock to reattach the axle to the diff and test drove it. Everything was perfect.

I am concerned though, how could have these bolts come to the point where they were loose and eventually off? No idea...

I will keep a close eye on it though. Thanks for all the help! I really appreciated all the input...
