So one lug bolt (not lug nuts) fell out, and the other 4 were still tight, right? When you say the axle "broke" did this cause the wheel/hub assembly to be loose? Did the very large axle nut fall off? That nut is right behind the center cap in the wheel. I get the drift that the axle was broken, and causing all the noise...It is VERY unusual to break an axle.

No matter what happened, the lesson here is when you hear "ungodly noises" coming from your car, no matter what make it is, STOP, and don't keep driving it. Your safety was definitly at risk, and I'm sure your repair bill would've been a lot less. $1800 sure seems like way to much money for an axle and a rotor, BTW. Parts are under $500, and it's only a couple hours labor at most.
