I am having problems with my cv boot/axle. I have changed out my entire front driverside axle twice and both times, a couple days after i get it done i see that the cv boot is leaking grease. I have my car lowered about 1.5 inches and the struts are pretty much blown.

Are blown struts teh casue of cv boot busting so fast all the time?

try getting another jack to push up on your tire/lower control arm while the car is jacked up, (to bring it to its normal height, and bump like travel heights) see if its hitting anything, or see if the joint has to go through extreme angles

the blown strut probably means that it bounces a couple more times than it should for every big bump
