Default Shaft Eater

I have a 93 LX Civic with a GSR swap. Since I bought the car I have replaced the shafts twice. Seems like every 2 weeks they start going bad. I dont beat on the car at all. The car does have urethane torque mounts, would this contribute to the problem?

Aside from taking out the inserts is there anything I can do to stop this?

I had thought about some aftermarket shafts, but not sure if that'll fix the problem.

Any and all suggestions are welcomed

TIA

Yes its fairly low. No exact measurement, but with a 45 series tire on a 16" rim there is no gap.

Soon ill be supercharged looking for something able to handle 230ish whp

If you haven't bought the supercharger yet, don't, most go turbo.

I ask about how low because the different angles needed while the suspension travels. The axles were designed for a envelop to work in.
