Yeah, that definately isn't "breaking axles" lol, but what you should look for is something in it's new range of motion that the boots are hitting and getting cut by.
If the boots are tearing just because they arn't straight, then it's a cheap boot. You can get axles with polyurethane boots from NAPA, or you can just get some polyurethane replacement boots for yours, and rebuild it.
