i went through about 15 autozone axles in about 6 months, then i started to do a little research and come to find out most autozone axles are shorter than oem axles, and my car is lowered a little.

i sourced some mint oem axles and havent had a problem yet, just stay away from part stores axles, i dont know how many times i about wrecked on the interstate when one of my axles would randomly just break on me

Usually the problem is your motor mounts. not necessarily because there bad. I had a set that just put the motor a little out of wack and put more stress on the axles. But you might just try a better quality axle if you kno your motor mounts are legit.
