i was under my car yesterday and say that grease had been flung out from the cv boot on used ITR axle.....when bought the axle i requested that the boots were replaced and regreased...they were and now it looks like the one was either filled to much and just throwing overflow or the clamp is faulty.....it feels tight and there are no visible tears or crackes in the boot....when i squeeze the boot it does not push any out and when i clean up the grease and drive i come back and it is still leaking and flinging.....any advice on what to do so i dont loose the axle and an prevent a further mess in my engine bay, alternator, etc...? thanx

i was thinkin to just cut the existing clamp and when replacing it, just makin sure i tighten the hell out of it......whats the diameter on the cv boot clamps anyways? 3in?

I agree too I just replaced my cv boot when I had my 00 ex coupe because it wasnt clicking and I didnt want to pay for a new axle.
