Front Drive Shaft Update

[terdrocket]

I need to check mine after the recent install. I lightly put the clamp on the boot end. In that the metal clamp is tight enough to stay in its groove, but loose enough that I can rotate it by hand.
I wanted it to allow the boot to move and settle where ever it needed over time without being bound at a certain location.

I need to check that no grease has made its way out.

Mine was glowing red when I pulled over.

Seriously . That’s enough to put anyone off installing one

Wouldn't the boot melt?

I'd have to assume the boot had been gone for some time. They only get this hot when the grease leaves the chat.

Just waking up, long night on the road. The small lift and terra, survived over 15K miles, exploded on the highway towing. Not sure its just the boot. I think what did me in was towing over undulating roads sending it out of spec. Believe me, Ineos is well aware of this disaster, but no solution in site. They relied on Dana for the design and are VERY pissed I assure you. Thankfully removing the shaft and driving in 4 lock gets you down the road. New shaft from Agile on the way.

Curious, how do you know Ineos is aware of this issue because they sure seem to be silent on the topic?
