    My 2010 is oozing grease from the passenger side outer CV joint boot. It has 185k miles, there are no tears on the boot, and I have not heard any clicks from the axles. Should I just get a boot and replace it? If so is there a guide for this procedure y’all would recommend? While I’m in there, what are other parts I should replace that will likely fail during the remaining life of the axle? Thanks!

    Run it till it turns rotor blue from heat he he . Or close. Do nothing you have years to go the engine will blow before that drive axle causes you any problems unless you live in extreme horrid road conditions like outback

    With the head gasket issue you’re right, I had to replace mine early this year.
