But those aren't axles. So "breaking rear axles" and "snapped axles" makes no sense.

Where are whatever-they-are breaking?

Beyond that, I'll refrain from more output until I get input with the correct terminology.
Ditto. Visit the park tool site, they have an excellent glossary on bike components. I am not sure what is breaking either.

Or post a couple of good pics of the broken parts.
