Well I have some news. Not sure if its good or bad.
I took apart my cv axles to replace the boots and found this:

This was the passenger side. 275 street tires, on the street.....
This is a custom axle from a z-car vendor. Its 1.3" in diameter, so just a shade bigger than a ford 9" 28 spline.
ALSO, the driver's side axle (stock Z31T) was completely fine. Splines had NO issues on either end......
On the next "unbreakable" solution i guess. It raises some concern as this was ONLY street tires, on the street.
