CV Boot - Grease Seepage Explanation

NO: 03-06-98

GROUP: Differential & Drive Line

DATE: Oct. 2, 1998

SUBJECT:
CV Boot Grease Seepage

MODELS:

1996 - 1999 (NS) Town & Country/Caravan/Voyager
1996 - 1999 (GS) Chrysler Voyager (International Market)

DISCUSSION:

The right side half shaft inner CV joint boot on subject vehicles is made of a special high temperature resistant material that can show heavy grease seepage - enough to form droplets on the boot convolutes. Although the seepage is unsightly and will stop eventually, it does not affect function or durability.

No replacement of the half shaft or boot is necessary for this condition. The boot should be wiped clean as necessary.
