Are these grease splatters normal?

I have about 70k miles on the clock and I just looked under the truck and saw these two grease splatters from the driveshaft... Is this normal?

 

I was still working on them haha

 

Do you grease them often? If so do you wipe off the excess that has oozed out?

 

Pretty normal. Just means they've been greased a lot and flung excess from rotational forces. IMO, better to see that than no grease(lack of maintenance)

 

I haven't greased them in the 7k miles I've owned the truck for, but I'm not sure, maybe the previous owner greased them. The one in the front looks kind of wet like it was more recent, whereas the rear one looks like it could be a little older.

 

Oh ok. I didnt know if this was like when you are leaking grease from your CVs and need to replace something or if it's just excess. Thanks!

 

yes its normal, and its good to see because the previous owner did regular maintainence

 

Out of curiosity, how often should they be greased? Either in terms of mileage or time, whichever matters more.

 

every oil change is good

 

Ok cool. Thanks for the help guys!

 

Perfectly normal and it means that the drive shaft u-joints were greased.

 

also u can always get in there with some rubber gloves a million rags and some kind of scraper and get that gunk off

 

Normal

 

They may have lubed them at the dealership as well! If you have gone for service that is.

 

As said shows some maintenance!!
Consider it rust prevention and grease them again.

70 k on a 07 cool.
My 08 is sitting at 167k!

 

Normal

 

My truck is property protected in the 5 zerk zones. Lol. I love the first week post service, the smell of burnt grease from the exhaust pipes.

 

Yes, if you (or somebody) has been greasing your drive shaft.

 

Yep.
