Default I keep breaking cv's, what gives?
Looks like I've broken my 2nd cv of the season. Same one repayment was BNIB oem Honda. Drivers rear. I also tore boot previously. Not sure what's going on. Maybe cars too low or something...

Anyone ever experience this?

Too low. Most definitely. Your drop and camber stresses the joint, spline and boot

Turned out to just be the boot, got a dss boot, neo grease, and vented the boot with wd40 straw, worked great!

So was it a heat issue?
