So as I was swapping wheels I noticed a straight line splatter of yellow/brown grease on my skid plate. Inner boot/cv joint is healthy looking and clean. It appears to be forcing its way out from where the cv joint housing and output shaft flange meet. (sorry if my terminology is incorrect, you get what I mean) I go triple digit speeds very often so I'm not too surprised it finds its way out the cv joint and up the axle. I guess the questions I have are:
1) What way would you go about refilling the grease preferably without having to remove the axle? The inner axle bolts were a PITA for me to get to line up and grab.
2) Anybody know exactly what grease it is?
Worst case I ask Audi for the grease info, grab some new tty axle bolts, pull it out and hope it bolts up without a fuss.
