Inner CV Joints leaking again--4th time
Each year for the past 3 years the inner CV joint boots have started leaking on my '06. Each time the replacement has been done under warranty. This time I am 3 months out of my 12 month gm parts warranty and I have to foot the bill. About 200 for parts and 200 for labor per side. So has anybody else had to replace CV joint boots this often? It has about 47k miles....and yes I do HPDEs several times a year. Can anyone tell me what causes them to leak outside of the obvious puncture of the boot by a piece of road trash?
thanks

Heat is always an issue but I can't imagine that I am producing 4 times more than any one else running hpde's. I added up the tools that are required in the service manual...minus the slide hammer...from the kent-Moore website and the total was $300. Can anyone tell me if this is something a do it yourself person can do?
Thanks
