Grease leaking from front drive shaft, help
For quite a while now my front drive shaft has oozed grease from where the shaft splines together. I just keep greasing it up but it sprays it all over down there. Do I need to replace a seal or the entire shaft?

You probably have to much grease in there! the seal is designed to keep dirt out, but not realy to keep grease in! one or at most 2 pumps on the grease gun should suffice, there should only be a thin film on the splines to lubricate them.
Good luck!
