Question Greese from CV boots

I did the 3" front lift and the dif drop from toytec. I have greese leaking from the boots closest to the dif. Is this normal?

I hope so.

They are in good shape and tight. I think it is just the new angle forcing it out. I just wanted to make sure.

If it continues not good! Clean the area up real good and watch if it still leaks. It seems alot of guys who run a 3inch front coil lift ends up having the CV's puke. 2.5 inches seem to be much less of a problem.

Keep a close eye on it!

This is the greese that is getting out of the boot. I have cleaned it up once already. I am about ready to take this lift out.

Totally looks like mine did on my Runner. I second the good clean-up and check for rips or tears...if it's all good throw on a hose clamp to seal it shut if it's coming out the sides. I was missing a clip, so that's what I did. It has stayed on all year and threw some hardcore wheeling trips.

Your cv's are stubborn cus they were meant to be in a certain angle and they've been cranked up. I'd check the clip and seriously a hose clamp can be a cheap fix and you can keep your lift.
