I have a 1999 ST204 that keeps breaking axles. They are the Axles from O'Reilly's and the inner joint keeps failing. it is usually in hard left hand turns. I'm guessing that they are too short but i'm not sure. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Thanks for the advice guys. I had to be at work on the 20th so only local pick-up was possible in my timeframe. Neither Autozone, Advance, Napa, or Carquest sell the correct axle for the C52, at least not the driver's side. The part number of the axle that I previously bought is TO-8100, which is too short in compressed form. That part number cross-checks at all four stores.
A manager at Carquest was nice enough to make a phone call, ordered an OEM axle made by EMPI and saved my ass. In the future, I will order from RockAuto, I don't think Duralast is the way to go.
