Drive shaft cv joint boot

I have replaced 4 front drive shaft cv joint for bad boots. Dorman replaces them at no cost but I have not been able to get 10,000 miles out of one before the boot goes bad. Anyone have this same problem?

1998 5.0 v8 Explorer

similar problem on my '98 explorer

I was chasing a noise on my 98 5.0 AWD Expl some years ago and changed out the drivers side frt axle. I don't believe I damaged anything but it started throwing grease out all over on day one. The sound I was looking for didn't go away and the core charge for my original was $5 so I kept it and put it back on and returned the reman for a refund. It now has 210k on both frt half shafts. The noise was from the frt driveshaft between transfer case and frt diff.
