help grease around cv boot, is it leaking?
i noticed about bean size amount of grease by the inner edge of the cv boot. it this just normal to have or does that mean its leaking, ive heard that thing is a biatch to replace............and just when i thought everything was done

no, sometimes a heavy plunge will squeeze grease beetween the boot and shaft. inspect the boots by using your hands, not just by looking at them, ck the pleats for tears.
hope this helps

i cut mine when replacing the springs last month. over the period of a few weeks there are quite a few splatters of grease on the inside of my wheel, and on various suspension parts.
i wil be replacing them on both sides this week. here is a tip for anyone doing a suspension upgrade: cover your cv boot with a bath tower or somethign when pulling the strut assembly out. this prevents you from cutting the cv boots.
puppet, thanks for the great link for cv replacement, i am sure it will help greately this weekend.
