cv seal keeps breaking

why would the passenger side cv seal continue to break.. If i put a new one in within a month it will be leaking... is this indicative of bad differential bearings? I have a 97 5 speed...

yeah, the boots of the actual cv joints are a little rusty or look like they are not as new as the actually are. plus, the boots look like they are vacum sealed is this ok? I mean the boots are not poofed out but somewhat sucked in?

any help is great..

Bump, I also have a 97 tranny and my passenger side seal is leaking as well. I suspect its the differential bearings, but wouldn't that cause the driver side seal to leak, and no the passenger?
