My CV Boot is Spewing Grease Turds.....

[mdk5623]

....all the grease that was inside it is now onto my inner wheel and caliper. Was supposed to go on a trip starting tomorrow....cut is about 3" long, the outer boot (the one closest to the wheel, front passenger side).....having learned from resident brilliant one Hayaku, ...I know this is not good...question is,.... is it safe? I was planning on about 700-1000 miles in 3 days...can't get into stealer until next Thursday....X is still under warranty....Should I stay, or should I go now........don't need that double trouble....


...with apologies to the Clash and Sir Larry.....opinions, pleeze.

Don't do eet...rent a car. That's a lot of miles to get some nice FOD in the boot and tear up the more expen$ive parts of the trans.
