I have put in multiple CV axles but when I’m ready to try it I reverse and as soon as I turn the wheel the axle breaks I’ve change control arme in case there was a problem with that but it just keeps breaking the axles ...it doesn’t come out from the transmission just the rubber breaks and the axles falls
Not intended necessarily to be answered only for you to think about if you did.
Did you match your original parts with the replacement prior to installation?
Did you make sure that the retaining clip was in place when installing any of the axles?
Did you make sure the axle was properly seated in transmission?
By your description and pictures these would be the most common cause of your problem.
The boot is nothing more then to house grease and protect the the CV joint from foreign impacts.
The pictures are very vague and only really show the end result and not details to the damage if any on the CV joint or the output shaft area. But ...look around and find the c-clips and or other retaining rings, as I am curious to their condition.. While it is many times impossible but to only guess on forums to help solve members issues my guess is there is still something other then the axle that is being over looked. Simply put go look at the out shaft with a flash light be certain there is nothing there. I still think that either your axles are the incorrect length or something in the trans mission output shaft area was left in there which is preventing the correct installation of the axle..

This quote only makes me wonder again if you matched the original part removed with the replacement?

Si they saw under the car and since I had it tilted when I rose it up I couldn’t tell but they saw that the transmission was too far down so the axle wasn’t going in straight ...so the transmission support was loose thanks for helping me out though I appreciate it
