Dox 22 Posted September 25, 2015 Or brake fluid? CV grease is usually deposited on the inside of the rim or wishbone / ARB in gooey black lumps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 30 Posted September 25, 2015 Or power steering fluid? You'll need to take a good look underneath with the car on stands or something. Or if you have a friendly mechanic, ask them to put it on lifts and you'll find the problem fairly quickly I'd say. Don't drive for long with a split CV boot if that's it - I did it for a while on an old Audi and it gave way on the motorway eventually - not fun!
