I think the 64k miles on the boots coupled with stress from the lift angles lead to this. The first pick is before I cleaned it off. I wiped alot of the grease away to see if I could find the tear. I couldn't find one. The second pic is the joint all cleaned off. Oh yeah, and just ignore that disconnected sway bar. I'm too lazy to take it off.

I did find this, but I don't think this is the source of the grease. I've wiped all the grease away, so if it comes back, I'll be convinced. This is from the ground looking up at the lower A-arm.

Go down to oreilly's and buy a new CV shaft and the youll have a new shaft plus lifetime warranty on it. then take that reciept with the other sides shaft and get a free shaft by using the warranty for the other. Thats what i always did just buy stuff for one side of your truck and get the other side free by using the warranty reciept. They never know.

you sure that sway bar link rattling around didn't tear the boot?

Anything is possible, but I really don't think it could have happened, Grayson. The sway bar link just sticks strait up, I actually had to bend it out of the way to take the picture. If anything, it would just flop back and forth. I don't think its is alligned to where it could even possibly touch the boot.

And I checked it out today, and there is no more grease. But then again, its only been a day.
