Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My rear wheels kept being slung with grease but my CV shaft boots were in a sad, dry rotted state. I just finished putting on new boots and fresh grease yesterday and figured this would be resolved but it’s not for the left side. It’s apparently coming out of the hole in the end of the axle shaft into the hub of the wheel and then being slung out through tiny gaps between the wheel and the hub. My boots seem to be doing their jobs now though. Is this normal?

Actually, I did. I just rebuilt the brakes and that side had one bleeder screw that was leaking for the first couple of drives. It may have caused it to get hotter if that caliper wasn’t retracting normally. That’s been resolved and the rotors are now evenly warm after a drive so I’ll see if maybe it stops slinging grease. Thanks.
