Exactly what mine looked like.

The problem is that green clamp, the way they are designed they get loose over time due to centrifugal force. If you go with a one-ear type they will last much longer and you have the ability to re-tighten them using a set of pliers.

 

This is in the maintenance schedule BTW...every 5k

 

Just to check, not to replace.

 

yeah...I wonder what the dealers do when they see the leaks..if they even bother to check

 

prepare to *** rape you...with no lube.

 

no reach-around?

 

Mitsubishi will make you give yourself the reach around.

 

Get some Gorilla axles

 

Dealer repacked inner cv joints and replaced the boots up front under warranty which was suprising. They did not replace the rear leaky boots because "they werent slinging grease everywhere like the fronts", although you can see greasy spots on the subframe.

Waiting on a backordered cd player replacement to come in and they will take pics of the rear boots and send them to the higher ups to see if they can be replaced under warranty...

 

What better clamps should we get?

Bump

 

Again what clamps and where can we get this?

 

I already had to replace one axle. I have two others that are seeping by the green clamps. These are the same kind I bought. Obviously the smaller ones though for the inner boot.

did you regrease the joints or just replaced the clamp?
if so what kind of grease did you use?

 

I just used whatever the service manual called for grease.

 

Some one should make a "How To".
