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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

While I was doing some work on my car yesterday, I noticed that the inside of my right rear wheel was coated with grease. Upon further inspection, the inside of the wheel assembly was oozing grease. Not being real familiar with the rear axle set up, would this be caused by a torn or ripped "grease boot" (don't know what else to call it)? Has anyone else had this problem? Also, do you know if this would be a warranty item? My car is still under the original 4/50 warranty. I have an appointment to take the car in to the dealer on Wednesday morning. Thanks in advance for any opinions and help!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! Any idea what would cause this?

POST 7Original post

Yes, most likely a torn CV boot. No big deal, but you do need to get it replaced very soon. Your CV joint is running with no grease, and grit is allowed in, whcih will quickly destroy the joint. Don't delay - get it replaced.
