Default keeps breaking axles

i have a turboed 1990 integra and just 2 days ago the original drivers side axle broke, i replaced it yesterday and not even two hours that same drivers side axle broke, i put another one in today; just got home from towing it;and right when i make my first turn out of the parking lot it snaps again, it is the same one part over and over, rubber joint by the tranny side..

does anyone know what is wrong. all 3 time the axles have been new?
need fixed by this friday.

i did already search.

thanks in advance

You need to have someone look at it. I think getting new motor mounts may help, but it's best to check first. Good luck... I can feel you because my axles are about to give currently, so I stay out of boost.

Innovative mounts is now making mounts for the DA, so you're in luck!! I'm getting my set as soon as I can afford it. They are only $360! Which is unbeatable compared to others.

It can be addicting, but I have no problem driving "normally" on the streets. It's still fast enough. Plus I'm an old fart now (28 yrs. old), so I drive slower now. I even usually drive 70 on the freeway.
