Took the cover off the 964 and moved it out of storage. I took a few photos of the 964 and 986 together. It surprised me how much larger the 986 looks from behind. It might partly have to do with the contrast in color between Arctic Silver and Slate Grey. I never realized how much higher the taillights are on the 986.
Both are now cleaned up and ready for the weekend!

See if you can get a used pair from Woody and put new grease and boots, or if it is relatively low miles, just use as is.

If your new axle is brand new, maybe that is just a little extra grease coming out and it will settle down? I think I've heard that before.

I will say I cleaned my axles which were spitting grease, repacked with Redline CV-2 high temp cv grease, new boots, and drove to Atlanta for two days of on track mayhem plus 6 hours each way of highway driving, no grease leakage at all, I was pretty happy
