Apologies for the enormous pictures!!
Yesterday afternoon as my wife pulled out of the garage I noticed a small spot of grease around where her right wheel would be. I though great, another CV boot torn (the one on the drivers side is torn). Today I figured I would take a quick look and am not exactly sure what is leaking.
There is grease sprayed all around the wheel well on the front and rear wheels, down the side of the Explorer and even some on the trunk. Yet, when I look underneath the only grease I can see appears to be on the bottom of the shock. From looking underneath and how much is all down the side of the vehicle I cannot figure out where it is coming from. Is it possible there is that much grease in the CV for it to coat the vehicle like that???
I uploaded some pictures to show how much there is:
Front wheel:
Underside:
Rear wheel:
Side of vehicle:
Any ideas? I half wonder if she drove through something.
Thanks.
