*** Front Passenger Axle Stretched & Grease leak out on two new Axles...

Hello,

I have been dealing the front passenger axle for a bit on 535xi sedan. I have replaced two front passenger axles with GKN brand which is OEM to BMW in 12K miles. On both of them I have experienced same symptoms. The grease leaks out of the inner boot only right above the control arm. Outer boot does not have any leaks, but seems stretched. There are no tears in the boot that I can see.

Also the both inner and outer boots seems collapsed as if the air is sucked out of them. I wonder if the axles are pulled more than usual, causing the boot to stretch as in the picture? Could the axle be slightly shorter?

The car seems to be driving fine with no vibrations.

Any thoughts... Much appreciate it.
Thank you
