If we were seeing this problem more often I would agree.
But this is the first time I recall ever reading about this issue on the steering joints
I agree with the above. Yes, the outer boots are vulnerable to tearing, and Kioti ought to offer the boot as a separate item, but they choose not to. Such is life. Kioti replaced your parts under warranty, as they should, and now you know what to do and to look for going forward.
