A few of the boots on our 2005 Acura MDX are slinging grease. It has 120k miles on it now, but they've been slinging grease for years. It's not a lot...but you can see the darker residue on the wheel well where it stays moist.
Is there anything I can do to slow/stop this slinging, short of a boot kit or replacing the whole shaft assembly? I don't think I'd have much success with a boot kit. Right now, my working opinion is that I'll let it go until one of the joints starts clicking and I have to replace it...sort of a "don't fix it 'till it's broke" kind of plan.
What say the experts? Let it go...or is there some preventative action I can take to prolong complete shaft replacement? I'm wondering if one can simply replace the clamps on the boots. On the ones that are slinging, it's always the small end of the boot.
