R50 Suspension upgrades & More

Already breaking stuff on this stock R50s suspension . Broke a CV axel passenger side and think I may have bent something else as well.

Best upgrades for R50? Ive heard of the Poly bushings doing pretty well and something to do with strut towers etc.. mushrooming effect.

Basically I want to be able to hit a pot hole and not worry about breaking my CVT axel !! This had to be caused by faulty suspension somewhere along the lines...

Here is the stock replacement for the front suspension, check all those first. Then go to poly on the Powerflex bushings. Check the tie rod to see if its bent, the A arms are pretty beefy.
