Hey guys,
I just noticed this afternoon that the inside of my left front wheel is splattered with what looks like bearing grease... Its also splattered around inside the wheel arch aswell.
I havent taken the wheel off yet, but was thinking that the bearing seals may have let go...spraying grease everywhere. I didn't notice anything while driving it this morning
Anyone have any ideas?
May look like im up for new bearings and seals, also coz I drove it in the rain last wknd, and not sure when it actually occurred...
Cheers.

Check your driveshaft boots (CV), they may be cracked, split, or the clamp has come off.

Just drop the driveshafts. Bit of work involved but it'll save you a shitload by doing it yourself.

Messy job changing the boot, but not that hard once you know what you're doing

Make sure you change it soon mate, otherwise you'll be up for a new CV joint as well.
