I have had a lot of problems with the GKN boots that come on the G50 axles. They seem to have a life of about 5000 - 8000 miles. After my 3rd replacement axle, I just replaced all of the boots with EMPI replacements, and I have not had any issues since then. If the boot hasn't split, so the CVs don't need to be repacked, it's a pretty quick job (maybe 30 min) to replace both boots once the axle is out of the car.

But if your CVs are worn out, that's a different issue.
