The old book says to pump in the grease until it flows out from the joint/boot... That was last century
2012 Impala LT-Outer Tie Rods Leaking Jam
Hello Folks,
I have two questions.
1. This tie rod is leaking grease, I assume that it means that it's done for and I need to get another one. Would that be correct?
2. Should I leave the zerk fittings on the tie rods or should I remove them?
3. Is it possible to "over-grease" the boots? I'm wondering why this tie rod died a little a year after installation. This is the side that I didn't put the axle nut on and ended up destroying a hub-assembly.
