So I have a little grease flinging out where the inboard CV boots meet the axle shafts after installing Bilstein 5100s set to the third notch. This setting was supposed to only provide 1.75 in of lift but actually provided 2" of lift after a couple of days of settling.
I noticed there was dirty grease buildup around the boot where it is supposed to seal around the CV shaft when I did the job. I wiped it clean when I did the lift. So I don't know if removing that buildup caused the grease to start to fling out or doing the lift potentially did because I was moving the CV shaft and boots in and out when I was doing the job.
The clamp is not tight as I can move the boots on the shafts by hand.
I'm considering the McMaster-style hose clamps to fix the leak. But my question is do I really need to do a diff drop could that be part of the reason the grease is leaking?
I have no ribs of the CV boots touching each other and it looks like if I did a dip drop it would actually increase the angle because the diff is actually slightly lower than the hubs on the wheels. There is actually a slight bit of negative angle of the CV shafts going to the wheels.
