That's the best way I can describe it. My Audi S4 developed a vibration when under load and it turned out to be the front and rear drive shaft CV's. When we took them apart the grease looked like dried, baked tar. Had to use a screwdriver to scrape the grease out. Cleaned them up and repacked with some packs of CV grease that had been supplied with some other CV joints. Works fine now.
My concern is that it will happen again as the driveshaft is right above the exhaust on a twin turbo engine (read "hot") Car has 117k and I'm wondering if there is a CV grease that will hold up better in this instance. BTW, no tears in the boot, all was still sealed up tight.
