I've had similar problems with Napa axles, new and rebuilt as well. It seems the best thing that has always worked for my cars is replacing whatever cv joint is messed up with another used Honda one in descent condition. I have a pieced together one right now on my gsr that has lasted 2 years with no problems at all.
