KK guys, im in a bind, and could use some help

My 3sgte 95 gt is having cv shaft issues.

3sgte Motor Second Gen

S54 stock trany

3sgte clutch with the 5sfte flywheel and what not.

Neways, I keep blowing axels since I got the car. Mechanic says its looking like there stretching and then there breaking apart.

I had the OEM Toyota put in about 3 weeks ago and it blew. Then I went and had the oriellys one put in yesterday and the mech said it blew during the QA check ride. LMFAO. Im hurting.

Anyways my question is, if my car is lowered, is there a different axcel that is better for the car setup? Such as a st185 or what not that fits into the s54 tranny? Something a bit longer to stop the stretching if that is the case that killing these axels?

Any help or ideas appreciated.

O'Reilly's, Autozone, Advance, NAPA, Carquest, etc. don't carry the correct axles for the 6th gen. What they sell are intended to fit the 5th gen, that's why they are too short. I had the same issue, but I never drove on the one I installed from Autozone because it was 5mm+ too short. Someone at Carquest was able to special-order an EMPI brand axle, equivalent to Toyota OEM. I'm speaking of the driver side, in my case...

I blew a Toyota axel in 3 weeks.

I have gone through 6 axles in the last few months, and I'm still using the 5s. They all seem to break during hard left turns. The most recent axle that I ordered off of the internet makes a horrific grinding/whirring sound when my wheel is turning to the left. Is there an axle that works? I've tried autozone, o'reilley, cardone, and one more that I can't remember.

I've only been on this EMPI axle for two months, so I can't even certainly say it lasts, but so far so good.
