Aftermarket shafts with insufficiently tightened boot bands. The shop can
replace the bands without removing the shafts from the vehicle. Should be a
quick and cheap fix.

The shafts may go a long time yet even with a lesser amount of grease in
the joints, so it's definitely worth a try before replacing the shafts.

96 EX Accord w 150k miles. On right inner & outer & left inner cv
joints there is a grease leak from the ends of the boots. Boots are
good & the boot clamps look ok. Why/how is grease getting out? No
typical bad cv joint symptoms yet. Garage recommended new half axles
- apparently nobody changes just boots anymore because of the labor
costs. Before I go that route I'll get a lot more miles out of these
- at least until they start clicking. I've not heard of grease
leaking from good joints/boots. It's the vertical sling out pattern
on the facing & backing surfaces & right where the boot/clamp there is
seepage. Any ideas?
