CV boot oozing
Well I just discovered black grease sprayed over the inside of the passenger rear wheel. The outer boot is not cracked, but it looks like the grease is oozing out between the outside boot and the big diameter. I can move the boot pretty easily and so it looks like the steel clamp is not tight enough. After looking at it again, it appears as if this axle has been replaced by the previous owner with an aftermarket non Porsche unit since the outer boot looks larger.
It looks exactly like this OP Parts unit that another site sells.
So..... should I:
Pull the axle, refill with grease and replace the clamp?
Or buy a new aftermarket axle since the escaping grease may have compromised the CV joint?
Or buy a used LA dismantler axle and rebuild with CV joint and boots?
