    I just got home after having my CV axle replaced and looked under the truck to see grease on the boot again. Is this normal?

    Maybe the shop didn't do a good clean up

    Do it yourself and monitor

    Did they replace the axle (looks new?) or just the boot. If it was just the boot, could just need wiping off. If not, yeah, bring it back

    Is it grease of diff fluid?
    Maybe the axle seal is leaking and running down onto the axle.
    And that is what you are seeing?

    Never heard of them. Personally, I'm a big fan of OEM.
