Nope!

They break regardless of engine tune or tires. They tend to break most when
starting out slow from a stop while taking a turn. It's a weird sensation
when they break, you really think you've blown the tranny at first until
you see that driveshaft spinning.

I was told that having a pretty worn differential contributed to my axle
breaking. I have a standard engine and standard tires. It happens to the
best of us :-)
