You've just made a big start to reliability....... driving to the limits of the vehicle will make a huge difference. Drive on the limit and expect failures.

When you look at it there is a damm good reason the rubicon has a 44 in the front - and even then the axles can be improved.

Makes living with the steering wiggle Unis provide a bit more bearable.
My RCV's are still silky smooth dude, thankfully the noise was just that the wheel nuts coming loose... ! (mechanics didn't torque properly, always check this peeps...)

Do you break the same axle all the time or are both sides breaking?
Is it the axle or the uni snapping?
