Hey all. Just noticed this when I was cleaning the car. Cause for concern? Or have I just stuck too much grease in there at one stage? I have degreased it off now.

Rookie question but, Could water in the diff/axel cause this as well? |

i suppose water would cause the seal to tear up thus causing this. |

You only need to fill the cv knuckle with about 100ml of grease that's all suzuki recommend. |

Reputable brand seal. Oh well, I'll have to do it again I guess. No big deal. Any suggestions where to buy these? I think I went o/s last time. |

Ah right so just take the old ones in then? Or do I need to get axle dimensions? I have been a bit of a mail order whore lately.... |
