Default broken driveshaft

Has anyone here had problem's with driveshaft's breaking..I have broken 3 driveshafts in about 2 years..Not on the same neon..But 3 different one's..2 snapped under the rubber balancer if it's a balancer....Not to sure,,and1 inside the rubber boot..Are they all no good?And is there a good replacment for the 1st gen drivshaft's...Without spending a fortune..
And i have a guy arguing with me telling me that he never heard of a neon drivshaft breaking inside the boot and that it's impossible[&:]
Anyone else ever break a driveshaft inside the rubber boot..Thanks

Glad to hear..I thought i was the only one,...The passenger side drivshaft is a b!tc#..Im guessing that it's way to long,,Thats why it keep's breaking...[&:]

and ive been racing 2 seasons on the stock 85,000 miles axles and they dont even click yet
i broke one on my street car but that was because of the motor mount getting torn out of the core support and pulling it apart
