The flange for the CV boots that I bought came with 6 holes. Knowing that only 4 of these would be filled with bolts, I put a bead of gasket material to seal the grease in. This seems to have worked for one side, but the other is steadily coating the underside of my trunk with CV grease.
Any thoughts other than to clean it up and try again? Thanks |

I've got the same problem.
I bought a set of brand new complete axles and cv's. I installed the pins that you mentioned in the cv's. It's on the boot side that have extra open holes that shoot out grease. I went to home depot and bought some metal hole plugs. It worked for the trans side but I can't get to the trailing arm side. It's on my list of things to fix. When I get a chance I will take some pictures. Steve |
