Long side cvs

Hey boys.
Just wondering if anyone can tell me why I keep breaking long side cvs and never a short side?
I've done 3 longs and no shorts.they're breaking on pretty easy stuff too.
I understand 38s wouldn't help and I'm not complaining just was wondering why the shirt side never breaks.
Before you ask,no I haven't jumped it neither is the front braced though.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Because they are longer they twist & break.

sorry havent been on for a bit.

its just doing cvs.
on really easy tracks though thats what was annoying me.
like i was driving up a graded hill with a 2 ft rock step and it broke!
about to jump on the TG website and look at dirty 30s i think.

Talk to Chris at LOCKTUP 4x4 about the track assassin cvs, im running the 27spl versions in my car with sticky 40" tyres and they have held up well so far. They are relatively cheap in comparison to longfeilds.
