I spoke with another shop this weekend that said they have had the same issue with the stock halfshafts. They figure out it has to do with lowering the car and the way the car squats coming out of the hole, even if just a 1/4 inch, they can pull the boots a part from the rest of the unit.
They fixed this on their shop car by bumping up the coilovers a little bit.
I only have 1in drop springs in the rear, I wonder how I can fix this issue?
Now I have to pull the axels out again to get repacked, but I know it will do it again without a remedy.
They told me I would not have this issue with the either the DSS 9in, 12 bolt, or the lingenfelter rear end, but I will not be installing this till later in the summer.
Any one else notice this in their cars? Unless you recently had your car up on the rack, you may have to go look for grease.
(ROBERT)... did you see this when you tore out the stock rear end?)
thanks

Not at all, and my car is lowered as well...
