CV Axle Boot

[blm28164]

My drivers side CV Axle boot is having a small leak. How serious is this and what are some good fixes to seal it?

To me that appears to be your upper ball joint, assuming you're still under warranty, have the dealer take a look at it and let us know what they say.

While admittedly a bad picture- it's showing all the little grease spots coming from the leaking boot.

I had a serious leak that coated my wheel well in a thick layer of grease. Dealer replaced the whole shaft assembly under warranty.

did someone beat on it with a hammer?

That is an outer tie rod

Yeah looks like it's had some impact damage for sure!

The tie rod retaining nut looks pretty chewed up as well. It almost looks like someone attempted to install a leveling kit at some point using vise grips and a ball-peen hammer

Yeah, I went to have a leveling kit put on and screwed up my CV Axle. He is going to replace it for free atleast, but now I gotta listen to that awful racquet for about a week until he can get the part and fix it. I also have to get all my sensors recalibrated as nothing is working, cruise control, drive modes, etc. ABS Light is on, uphill assist and collision assist have faults.
