what kind of greas do you guys use in your axle boots?
i just got my car off the jack stands a few days agao drove it around im getting a lil vibration from the left side and i dont think the boot that connects to the ttransmision spidle is on good may be lacking some lube so ima lube it up whats the best or cheapest kind i could use. Also can i buy a new axle boot clap? or shoul di use just a cheap ol screw tightened clamp.

haha..
You can get the boot, clamp and grease all in one kit usually.. It might even be cheaper to buy the kit and you end up with a spare boot.
forget about the 'screw' clamp, you dont want the chance of causing a differn't vibration from that style clamp. Basically, if the clamp is not the same style as the stock one then DONT use it. buy the kit from a place that does a loan-a-tool and use the proper tool to clamp the boot on.
good luck.

It would probably be a pretty messy job in the driveway... Just pull it out, it's good practice.
wear rubber gloves.

If you don't need to clean all of the old grease out & just want to add some, you can just take off the outer strap, scrape some of the old grease out & squirt some new grease in & put on a new strap.......... without taking it off the car.

Damn, that job is BITCH!!!
I had to do that before.........
I used Valvoline's grease in a can for about 5 bucks from Advanced Auto. Get a good clean area to work, and plenty of rubber gloves. I also used brake cleaner to clean things when I got them dirty and needed to clean off the grease.
Good luck!
