Sounds like a fob off to me. I'm assuming your talking about the rubber boot and not the joint itself. its a rubber boot designed to flex under different loading conditions its likely burst under wear and tear unless something is rubbing off them which I highly doubt. how much have you lowered the car? and do the boots look stretched?
