    Hey,

    I had my roommate help install a lift kit on my 2021 taco today and I noted on the UCA bushing and I think the tie rod bushing had some white grease or liquid coming out a bit. For some reason just the drivers side, it gave us a hard time.

    He's mechanically inclined and says not to worry about it but I'd rather ask for an other opinion.. haha.

    Should I have these replaced sooner than later? Not worry about it? Something else?

    Thanks

    A little weeping or squeeze-out is normal. If you notice globs of grease coming out then I’d start looking for a cause- usually a torn boot or worn bushing.

    Thanks! I guess I'll keep my eye on it. Hopefully not torn.
