So I crawled under the car again:
This is my passenger side axle at the differential. Grease is sprayed everywhere. Driver side does not look like this. I've been told that at a minimum I will need a new boot, worst case I need new axles.
I am genuinely getting sick of this car and ready to trade it... |
I think the lube that has been slung around is from increased heat due the shaft angle from lowering. The OE boots are designed to keep dirt out and not a semi-liquid state CV joint lube when hot. The solution is using a high grade synthetic lube to replace the OE lube. You can do a decent job with the fresh lube with the axles on the car. The best way is to take them off. Clean out the boots and clamp them back in place. You should be good to go.
