      ​@Johndada517 the difference is that the grease won't leak out of a bad seal as quickly as oil. It seems like a nice combination of oil and grease would lube it well, but also ensure enough lubrication if you had a seal failure.

    Another reason….. I’ve seen it many times in my career, people or shops don’t have the skill to re-seal the outer ball knuckles that will normally end up leaking gear oil profusely with age. So they will simply fill the outer knuckles with grease. Over time and after a few fills this will end up mixing with all the front axle gear oil and end up that sludge you pulled out.

      @@Lost10mm. - This is literally what these "inspections shops" do, though. They inspect vehicles. May not remove the diff cover but they reach in and take a sample (of all fluids), if it looks bad - up to you if you want them to check further - ie: remove the cover for further inspection, should you want to go that route, just as they check every thing else. They get paid to do it, they don't care who's car it is or if I end up buying it, they still get paid. Some times you lose the cost of the inspection if the vehicle is garbage but you win because you didn't get stuck with it. It helps to have some knowledge, to whittle out the obvious junk. Not sure where you are but where I'm from, in Canada, if you buy a vehicle from another province, you must have it inspected or they won't insure you. Those inspections are much more thorough.

    • @douglashook1512
      @douglashook1512 Před 8 měsíci +1

      @BFT88 The CV joint on these are known as a birfield joint, and they reside in an enclosed housing. The birfield joint is packed with grease, and the housing is filled with grease as well. The inner axle shaft passes through a seal that is placed in the axle housing. When the seal goes bad, differential lube starts to work its way up to the housing and birfield joint, and soon you end up with what Toyota owners not so lovingly call birf soup Given enough time, the soup works its way back to the differential, and you end up with that nasty black mess. It’s not a hard job to change the seals and wipers just very dirty. I’ve had to do this multiple times over the years, and it sucks. This only applies to the solid front axle versions.
