Where is it breaking? If you are tearing up the inside of the axle it is more than likely your rear tranny mount(towards the firewall). Is your car lowered? I have seen some shitty lowering jobs that puts the axles at a weird angle and the axle tries to bind up and ends up snaping. A little more details of how it happened and such would help alot.
