If the top bolt broke, was it the correct bolt, this one breaking would strain the lower ones.

Are they still breaking or what is happening now

OK jack up the car at the front, and it should be possible to turn the steering from lock to lock by holding the road wheel, one hand each side, just to be sure that the swivel joints are not too tight
