Unhappy Need Axles

Ok, so my setup is listed in my sig below. I've had it for about 2 yrs now, and I used HAsport mounts for the swap. In turn I also used HAsport axles. They have already taken a shit on me. Outer boots have since ripped and grease is sprayed along the undercarriage. Had them installed at a reputable local shop so I know it was done correctly but I always had issues with them making a growling kind of noise when I went over dips on the freeway. Now I am looking to replace them and I was wondering what axles anyone might recommend. How are gator axles? I would definitely prefer axles with greater angular capability, since the motor doesn't exactly sit straight on with the wheel wells. I don't know what kind of joints the HAsport axles I have use but I would prefer axles with fixed-tripod joints (I think those are the ones) Anyway I am looking to replace these very soon so any input from you guys would be greatly appreciated

Gator Axles will not break. Your tranny will break before they do, which is the reason why I choose not to get them. They are great axles, great for alot of power. Other than that...I'm not familiar with Hseries setups so I cant help ya there

well....with an H22 you have to get the motor as far back against the firewall as possible, and I don't know about everyone else but my HAsport mounts don't really mount the motor dead on with the wheelwells, I am pretty sure that is why my axles wore prematurely. Never abused them (taking 30 mph corners at 90 or doing burnouts etc.)
