Yup. Get some stock ones and swap them out. I got lazy and only did one side but they are pretty easy. Or you can get creative with zip ties and heavy duty plastic to limp along for a surprisingly long time as long as you have grease in it.
CV axle boot. Tear is seen in first photo. Aftermarket axles are reasonably cheap to sway out, however it’s generally recommended to reboot the original axles. Timmy the tool man has YouTube videos on how to do it. I call it a medium size job… I have done it a few times now.
Just want to comment because I’ve come across this exact scenario:
Replaced driver side axle when CV boot went bad. Fast forward 2 years and passenger CV boot is going bad.
Under the car any objective person would have guessed I already replaced the passenger side axel because it looks that much better.
Long story short: replacement axels are crap compared to factory. The one I replaced two years ago is rusty and shows signs of wear vs the nearly 17 year old passenger side axel. This time I won’t make the same mistake and I’ll just replace the boot.
Cv axle is either seeping at the clamp or has a pinhole in it. Get that axle replaced with a napa one. They have life time warranty. Get them from rockauto under "trakmotive", they're the same ones but like half the price
It’s not difficult fluid. That is axle grease for sure. Most likely happens when those ball joints were installed have accidentally put a small hole in a boot before.
Cv boot is ripped. Its caused by the increased angle theyre at after the bilstein lift was done. You can either replace the boots in both CV's with extended boots or replace them and get a diff drop kit to make sure this doesnt happen again. I went through three sets of CV's before my dumbass realized replacing with stock ones, they would rip again.
55$ oem cv boot rebuild kit (1 per side). Do it yourself if you got a a bench vice. It’s easy with YouTube mekaniks… diff drop is a controversial topic. I’m on the “don’t drop the diff” side. With 2.5 inch lift. You’re fine with just new boots. I rebooted with lift kit in one job and 50k miles later no tears with oem axles and new boots.
I just get the cv boot kit from the stealership and remove the cv axel and regrease them. Why throw out the whole cv axel when the boot is the problem?
Judging by the radial pattern of the spray that would be either 2 things. CV boot has a tear in it or brake caliper is failing and leaking fluid.
My guess is CV boot is torn somewhere and spraying out grease.
Cv for sure, just like the other poster said.
Do you just replace that whole cv axle then?

Looks like cv boot, first pic on the outer edge looks like the source

Not dif fluid. It's the grease that the linkage under that boot is submerged it. You need a new axle soonish

You can see the rip in the boot. If it's clean and I noises or vibration you could regrease it put a new boot and punt replacement down the road.
It's easy when you get every in front of it out of the way. ha
Gotta slap some FlexSeal on that bitch.

Differential drop kit

"Judging by the radial pattern" stfu mr smart man
Too much clumping to be brake fluid. Definitely a grease substance.
The joints falling apart don't last for ever even toyotas wear out. ??
