Default broken freakin axels

why do i keep breaking my drivers side axel? i have a 91 hatch si, with a 95 b18b and a 91 ls tranny, using the hasport mounts, and 91 teg axels, not i rember vaguley about reading when you swap into an ef/ed chassis your axels will break easly, something about axel angle? what other things affect your axel that would cause it to break, it always breaks there the axel meets the intermedate shaft, all the berings and ***** broke into 20-30 little peices. i've been thinking about getting some of those axels you see n advertisments and they garantee that the wont break. anyone have these? but im guessing that its prolly something w/ my swap. oh and it breaks when i launch at 5k on nitto 555r's. after i finish my build up, i want to get some slicks and launch at 7k, but i want to figure out why my axel keeps breaking before i do. thanks and enlighten me

Check out http://www.raxels.com and ask Marty about your situation. He's very helpful and knowlegeable. Although my application wasn't as demanding as yours, I was extremely satisfied with the quality of axles I got from him.

Yeah, I've heard good things about this place; never dealt with them, but people seem to like them.
