P1000m5 Rear Axle Boot Grease

[smoothie25]

I noticed there was a bit of grease on the axle boot behind my rear passenger tire. The other tire is clean with no grease. Is this something I should be worried about?

I would clean it off real good and look for a hole in the boot. If grease is getting out water will get in.

Yes. The rubber boot is probably torn.

...or sliding off the joint.

Torn somewhere for sure.
R&R it.

@smoothie25 lengthy read but Joey does a great job at these. He Knows a thing or two cuz hes seen and thing or two 🤣 more like hundreds of these. Its a P7 but it will get your there all the same

P700 - CV repair and boot replacement.

I thought I'd take a few pics while replacing the boot. This is the rear outer CV. I chose to remove the spindle and knuckle. It was easier than and less messy than pulling the axle through the knuckle. Here's a pic with out the knuckle. Boot had been removed.

Thanks for the help so far!

Anybody have experience with the EZ trail boot kit? Seems to get mixed reviews.. I'm fairly certain I won't have to take bearings out and clean them since it's a small hole and it hasn't been there long.

You shouldnt have too.
just get the standard boot, grease and band kit.
Or if you want to be a Guinea pig, get the one u posted and do a video of it and post it here so we can see how it works.

As for me I won't use them only because it isn't worth it to risk an axle/cv joint for it.

Shoe Goo will work until you another reason to dig in to it.
