That is actually a good point, I guess it's not due to the potholes or drains but did think that if the boot was subjected to constant stretch/compress forces then it would possibly wear out quicker.
Certainly can't complain after 2 and 1/2 years for 10 bucks. I also have a VW Transporter and just had to do the coil springs on the front and I wished that someone had gotten the hub off that thing more often as it was a pig of a job so there is a benefit to getting the CV axel out regularly but I don't have the time for it sadly.
