Unhappy CV Joint Boot

2001 F-150 super crew 4x4 with a 5.4 engine.
CV Joint Boot at front left of Diff. went bad Had it replaced with a complete left axle unit. About 2 months later same thing happened again. Replace with another complete left axle unit. One month later it has happened again.
Anybody have an idea of what might be causing the Boot to split midway of the boot.

Where are you getting the replacment cv joints from? They made not be made of a durable rubber like the OEM ones? do you have a lift on the truck or cranked up torsion bars? That would change the geometry of things for sure
