Why are my struts continually blowing out?

My rear shocks have starting making a lot of rattling noise. AGX's have only last about 3yrs. My first set lasted about the same. Then I had GR2's and one of the fronts was making tons of noise in 9 months. Car has stock springs and no mods besides z32 brakes up front and spl tc rods. I don't drift and its daily driven. I baby this thing. I don't get it. I was told they should last for 70K miles and they only lasted 25K. When I got the car back in '97 the right rear shock was starting to make noise but it had close to 40K on it. I got rid of the stock struts/shocks in '02 (at 60K)

It seems like the oem specs for the struts on the 240sx are weak to me. I have never known a car to go through struts like this.
