Default keep snapping drive shafts ! :(

when I first got my scoob, I snapped the rear N/S drive shaft CV joint (diff end) twice in as many weeks. and i've now snapped it again, this time the splined end that goes in the diff snapped right where the recess is for the clip that holds it in the diff.
there is also a slight knock on the rear of the car, which ive been chasing for a while now and is probably the cause.

so far i've replaced the shocks, the diff, bushes on the front of the diff carrier, put a solid beatrush mount on the rear of the diff, i've looked at the lateral link bushes and they aint great, but they aint the source of the knock either.
anyone got any idea's ? cuz it's realy p1ssing me off now. i dont realy wanna be off work cuz of the car but looks like unless i get a replacement double quick, im off work !
