I've heard of them popping out because they are too low but not snapping. Are you giving it a lot of abuse for it to snap?

I snapped my inner cv on the passenger side cause it was too low, but were talking touching the floor low. Since I've raised it up it's been fine

First thing to rule out is the ride height. Raise it more and see how that is. If it still keeps failing then you need to check the geometry in the rest of the hub. Has it ever had accident damage on that side? Is the wheel central to the arch same distances front to back as the other side?
