    So I noticed the clamp that holds the cv boot on the shaft slipped off (not sure how) and some grease spit out from driving (not far) is there a way to get some grease back inside the boot without disassembling the drive axel? thanks for any help on this guys.:)

    A few bolts are different.
    if its not to much grease that has come out just put a pipe strap on it a roll on. Not sure about getting grease back in there.

    The drivers side outer band came loose on mine with only about 9000 miles. Took it to the dealer they tried to fix it and it fell off next day. The ordered a new band, it was put on and it also came loose. The ended up putting a whole new half shaft in to fix this problem because they could not get a band to stay on. Good luck to you getting this resolved.
