rear Axle Shaft grease
hi,
what is the meaning of grease coming out of rear axle shaft?
if i am buying this part online, what is the best way to confirm that the part i am getting is the same? local firestone told me that i have to replace rear cv axle half shaft as there is a leak.
most of the online; pep boys have only front. none of them have rear.
does anyone know if its the same as below?

Grease falling out, typically happens when the rubber boot has a rip.
Some unscrupulous shops [not all shops are unscrupulous] poke a screwdriver through the boot-hoses to generate work. A few times people run over loose plastic, which wraps around the boot and causes it to rip. A weak spot may rip too.
If the rip is detected early, one can repack the grease and put on a new boot, but if the grease runs out and dirt goes in, the joint gets ruined.
I would strongly suggest a boot repair, without removing the half shaft from the diff. If you remove the shaft from the diff, then you must replace the seals of the diff.
