My TB is currently having a common problem that I have read about others having experienced.
On each of the front axle, the inner boot is leaking. The boots themselves are in perfect condition; the seals, however, are obviously not doing so good. Some of the grease has sprayed out.
I am keeping it in 2WD mode only, not activating the AWD or 4WD system at all. Will I be OK for a while without rushing into a repair, since the driving power, in 2WD, is being distributed to the rear axle only?
Also, I have read various posts where some guys talk about repacking the grease and somehow tightening the seal without actually removing the axles. Does anyone have good knowledge of whether or not this is a sustainable fix? Or will I just need to pull the axles out? Thanks
