My CV boot suddenly started slinging grease from the band on the axle shaft. The boot is perfect with no cracks. The car is rear-engine so I don't have any "turn the steering wheel" options to check for noises. My questions: Does the grease slinging out indicate that the CV joint is overheating and failing? Would you recommend a symptomatic fix by just installing a tighter band to stop the grease coming out? Would you recommend peeling the boot back, and repacking the joint with new grease?
Thanks all!
Thanks all!
