Grease/Oil Buildup :(

[The_Hawk]

When doing the brake calipers I discovered a big build up of greasy mess on the inside of the front passenger side wheel. It was a REALLY greasy mess, water wasn't cutting it at all, scrubby was just causing it to smear. Will have to get some de-greaser or some other agent to get it off.

The boot itself looks intact, but I did notice on the otherside it was being held on with a piece of wire, and this side had nothing. (The otherside was clean).

I will have to get someone to have a look at it, hoping it's not the CV joint buggered, but there doesn't appear to be any of the usual clunking noise that goes along with that. *fingers crossed* Hopefully just a seal...

Ah well, another thing to add to the list.


Any suggestions to what it is? More importantly, any suggestions on what to clean it with. For the moment I have had to put the wheel back on as cleaned up as I could get it (which is not very).

If you can catch it before the clicky stage a thorough clean, regrease and reboot is usually all it takes, in my experience with other FWDs this has been the case anyways.
