Demon, Do These GCK Axles Have Any Improvements As Far As The CV Joints Are Concerned. I Seem To Keep Breaking Pass. Side CV's To The Point That I Can Pour The Pieces Out Of The Boot!

Yes it has HD CV joints, a thicker moly shaft, and is high speed balanced.

However if you are destroying the outer CV joint on the passenger side you have other issues causing it. The side most prone to failure from shock or heavy load is the driver's side. (i.e. no intermediate shaft)

Would A Bent Or Deteriorated LCA On The Pass Side Be Contributing To That.

after driving cross country i had a slight tear in my passenger side gck all the creece came out(obviously) I didnt see anything clearly that could have caused it. But like demon posted, they do have a lifetime warranty, so all i had to do was take it back to autozone. I did have to buy another one and wait a few days before i was reimbursed.

It most certainly could. Anything that changes or increases the angle between the center shaft and the splined hub shaft will increase wear and the chance for breakage.
Also loose components are significant harsher on it because the joint will oscillate rapidly in multiple directions. This causes significant added wear.
