What is this? Yellow Grease

Just picked my Maverick up from getting detailed, ceramic coated and paint protection film.

They said they found this when they pulled the wheels. What is this?

Looks like cv boot might have a tear in it.

If not, then some of the schoolbus color got put in there by mistake.

Looks familiar.....CV Boot tear for sure. Back to the dealership!

I just had the same part replaced on my Escape under warranty, the boot had a tear. I just figured they would put on a new boot but they replaced the whole axle. Apparently labor wise it is easier to put a new $149 axle on rather than have them work on breaking down the old axle.

I don't like the signs of this. I absolutely hate vehicles that have thin boots that don't last the life of the drive shaft. I used to see it on a lot of Honda/Acura products, but that was years ago...You would think they could design a more durable product these days...
Something that should at least last 100K miles.

Hope this isn't a future problem for all of us, my 70's Toronados had boots that lasted well over 100K miles, they should be able to better that with today's technology.

Might be the cv boot clamp was improperly installed.
