i would say if your boots are tearing and it's not from offroading,
something is wrong. They should (if installed properly) last for at least 5
years/50K miles. I have seen alot of people install them either sprung
(Twisted on the axle in a relaxed position), or with the adjustable end
position in one of the two extremes (too far out on the axle or too far in).
