If the boots are failing that fast, you are installing them wrong. First though is you are overfilling with grease. In a properly greased joint, the grease will never touch the boot. Make sure the small end is located properly on the shaft and that the air pressure inside it is equalized after it is installed. Dennis

One good thing , I am getting real good at changing and packing the boots. The last set came from The Parts Bin., the first ones were from locals they didn't even make it to the highway.
