how low are you? extreme axle angles can cause this.

my guess is your differential shit out on you my friend, install a new cv and push the car and see if it starts to bind up. i went through like 3 cvs before i realized the differential took a shit.

You would have to be wayyyyy out of alignment to break axles, unless you are getting bad ones. I would take it to someone else for a second opinion. Take it to Honda if you have to.
