Cv Axle Leaking Grease. My front passengers side cv joint boot seems leaking. Here are the key signs to look for to know right away if you might have a cv axle leaking.

Pull the axle out of the car and find a nice flat, well lit, clean place to work.
If a bad cv axle is not replaced in time, it might separate or jam while driving resulting in a safety hazard. Often times the grease can also be flung onto the chassis or other parts on the underside of the vehicle as the axle turns. 4.2 out of 5 stars 27. When a cv boot tears, grease packed inside will fly out as the axle rotates.
