Default CV boots ripping!!!

I have a problem with CV joints always ripping. This is like my 4th time I had a CV BOOT split! I hate it because I get all that grease on my white wheels. I think the problem my CV joints rip is because I still have my stock struts and they're out. If I get new shocks will that keep the CV boots from splitting??? Now I gotta either replace the boot or get a new axle. I hate replacing CV boots!!! (I know I should've gotten shocks long time ago but I've been too lazy.) =P

Also make sure that ur brakes lines are not on the way when turning the wheels.
My CV boot brook becasue i found out that when turning, the brake line will intefere with the boot.
I have steel braided lines, i dont know what u have, but wouldnt hurt to check.

Nah no vibrations. I don't think my lines are in the way either. I think I just need to buy shocks to keep the axles from goin up and down stretchin my cv boots.
