Default B20b in 95 Civic, axle keeps breaking

Hey I know it's a Little off topic but I really need the help. I have a 95 civic 4dr. With a b20b swap. Using the ls axle on them but I snapped the driver side axle do to dropping the car too low... Now I got these reman. from autozone and it keeps snapping. After the 6th axle that snapped I got the 7th one and put it in and now when I go over 15mph it rattles the whole front end. Can it be a half shaft that's causing so much breaking of the axle? Please help I need this car running asap.

I have the right mounts in there. Dunno if a bad ball joint can cause it to break. Any help will be much appreciated.

The outer one is twisting and snapping the joints off. Just changed my rack and pinion cause it was all messed up. Haven't tried to punch it yet till I get the energy suspension bushing on. I have changed almost everything on the front suspension. Hope it works I'll keep you guys updated if I snap it when I add in the new ball joint and crap.
