Default 4x4 Cossie Eating Cv Joints and Boots

As above. My cossie is in the garage getting its third cv joint replaced and the inner one next to the diff on the drivers side again.

It is lowered 25mm at the front on koni adjustables on OZ Super Laggera 17's.

The rubber covers which i think people call the boots have split and have let all the grease out which i dont think has helped. The thing is they are only 8 months old, so why have they split? is it because my car is lowered? I know the angle of the shaft goes up when the car is lower but shorly they are designed to do that and should not stain them.

When I am going along in the car and ever so slightly steer left there is a grinding noise kind of like a really heavy duty brake. When I am turning a corner say from a traffic light or full lock they is clunking too.

I don't rag the car either just incase any of you think I drop the clutch at revs lol and think that has caused damage to the drivetrain.

Hope some people have some idea what and why this is.

Many Thanks
