I just installed these axles yesterday in my 93 hatch. I started having problems with my car boging at vtec so im looking under my hood and see grease that appears to be coming from my passenger side BRAND NEW hasport axle. Has anyone else had failure from there axles like this? I am pissed because I now have 2 major problems with my car and its the only vehicle I have POS

 

Anyone had their axles sling grease before?

 

bump

 

if the boot clamp wasnt tight enough, yes.

or you have a torn boot already

 

Well it was dark last night so all I could really see was the fact that there was grease everywhere. Going to check it in a little bit.

 

I'd be more than willing to bet when you installed the axle you got a ''minor'' tear or rip in the boot and TADA.. Grease everywhere, but hopefully i'm wrong and they'll replace your axle..

I hate bad luck.

 

Ill look for a tear. Fortunately its the inner boot. If I find one ill put some rtv on it or maybe some double bubble.

Won't work.. Well it will, but it's only temporary.. Get that axle outta there.. Grease is gonna be everywhere.

 

hm a torn boot shouldnt cause your car to bog under vtec ................

 

if u want to keep the axles and you do have a tear just repace the rubber part for like $20

lol The story with that is I replaced the axles, tranny fluid, and motor oil. Noticed the next day that my car is running like **** and when vtec kicks in it completely bogs out and wont excelerate anymore. Looking under the hood I noticed the grease. So I am currently trying to work 2 major problems on my daily driver

 

Well I found a hole. I must have done it putting the axle in. It is a pretty small hole but a lot of grease is coming out lol
