I have a RK 2.5 flex system on my jeep for over a year now. I do pretty much no crawling, just mudding and trail riding at the camp. Went mudding today and looked under my jeep "I haven't done that in a while" and idk something looks off, or is it just me... How does this look to you guys? Boot still in good condition.

 

Looks like you have a couple spots of grease up above the joint. When it gets to a big strip of grease, start figuring out what you want to do about it.

 

Thanks, I seen the spots of grease and was like hmm...

 

Only reason I looked under it was because I put it in 4wd today, I haven't put it in 4wd in about 6 months. Is that why it sprayed that little grease?

 

That looks normal. I went to a double cardon rear driveshaft. Yours looks like mine did before I changed. Mine is a 2 door automatic.. Yours looks like one also from the angle. I also had a very mild vibration. Almost unnoticeable. But I did have to go to adjustable upper rear control arms to get the correct angle. It seems the cv type driveshaft can take the angle. I just wanted to correct the mild vibration.

Thanks, is this something I need to be worried with? Those couple grease specs?

 

I would not think it would be a big deal right now. But keep an eye on it. It had to come from that boot. When it gets worse you will see lots of grease. Then its decision time. Either a used stock shaft some one has removed. Or a double cardon.

Thanks, what am I looking price wise to replace? I would want an aftermarket. How much of a bitch is it to do myself? Thanks
