Quick front axle question

[alpinhi]

Hey everyone,
I am trying to head out today on a road trip (2000 mi). I had a Toytec 3/2 lift installed last week so I was double checking the torque on the wheel spacers when I noticed grease on the front axles. Its the inside boot on both axles and I cant find any damage or tears. Do I need to replace the boot or axles before I leave? Sorry I did not search the forum first as I have tons of stuff to attempt to get done first and don't really have time. Any help or info would be great!
Thanks
Travis

It probably just squeezed out when installing the lift. If there is not a lot of grease (dose not look like much in the pic) I wouldn't worry about it.
But what do I know...

I had not thought about that. I did wipe down the axles with a rag, Ill have to watch them and see if they continue to leak.

it will continue leaking if you don't replace the clamp but before you do, squeeze more grease in there and reclamp it. that's what I did and worked well for me.

Leave existing clamp on it and install a Home Depot stainless steel hose clamp to prevent further leakage. There are other threads where members have had no issues even after 30,000 miles
