My CV Boot is Spewing Grease Turds.....
 
....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, :bow: ...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.
