Today I pulled back the boots on my axle shaft and greased up the cv joints.
To make a long story short, I had one bad axle boot clamp- bought a axle clamp tool.

Seeing the condition of the cv joint I reclamped (dry as Hell -or perhaps even Colorado) I decide to regrease all the other cv joints. I was surprised to find oil not grease in the cv joints . This also clarified to source of oil leaking around the diff.

The end result - I reduced some clunking in the drive axles. But I'm still confused about the oil?? What gives? I thought CV joints were always packed with grease?

Confused in PEI,
