Just noticed a bunch of grease near the front driver side control arm. Must be leaking from the boot right?

CV boot, check for any rips or tears. Not uncommon for them to fling excess.

I don’t think it would fling this much… just check for tears and saw an excess of grease.

I’d clean it and monitor it. Or suck it up and take it to the dealer.
Yea I’ll take it to the dealer tomorrow. Just wanted to make sure this was abnormal first

If you drove over anything except pavement you may have to suck up the replacement cost. To replace the cv boot should entail pulling that hub off the vehicle which might consume 3-4 hours flat rate. Look at about $500 to fix if not warranty. But if you don't fix it and just keep mopping up the grease, eventually the grease disappears - and then the actual joint with it.

No non modified new vehicle should do this. This will be cleaned up under warranty and repaired.

Took it into the dealership this morning… They ordered a whole new axel for it, and will be replaced under warranty, no questions asked. They’ll contact me when it comes in

Glad it worked out. I'm dealing with similar issue but caught it early. Boot is leaking grease from a tear that I believe occurred on the line during assembly. Taking in this week.

Oh excellent. So when did you notice ? I just took my stock tires off and was looking around and saw all this grease . 300kms that’s it it lol. And I’m assuming they replaced everything and how long did it take to get the parts and what parts did they replace ? Thanks
