    So I noticed that there was a bunch of grease under my passenger side tire, I wiped it all off and checked a few days later and there was more. The cv boot is not broken or torn as far as I can see but I have no idea where it could be coming from any Ideas........ Here are some picts of the mess. IMG_0971.jpgIMG_0970.jpg

    Looks like the inboard CV Joint Boot or the front Drive Shaft.

    The shocks do not have "grease" in them.

    Could you get a better picture of the inboard CV Boot?

    Looks like cv joint grease to me. Not sure if the factory axles have that color grease, but I know my AutoZone axles do. Mine that leaks like that isn't torn either. I think it just comes from the boot clips not being 100% secure.

    That is definitely CV grease, look at the spray pattern. Drive backwarrds really fast for a few days and see if the pattern sprays the other side too, only sure way to tell :)
