Default Axle problem

Axle seals keep ripping and I was told that it because my cars so low it puts too much stress on the axles. Just trying to figure out if there is anything I can do to stop this from happening

Damn that sucks though....the only thing is though if I buy a good set of axles won't the same thing happen again even with a camber kit on? Someone needs to make something to stop this from happening....could make some serious money

Just how low is this car? Slammed? If so, yes you'll keep tearing axles.

why not just raise the car alil slamming a car down that low is just retarded. if u wanna fill wheel gap get bigger wheels or tires. its the only way to acually stop it.
