Interesting...
It appears to just have started spraying grease, no vibes or noise of any kind. I will probably just keep an eye on, and save my pennies for a ds. Worst case I yank the thing out.
Now if the snow would just melt I can ride the Bike and leave the Jeep at home. That will be the cheapest fix! Haha

where is the grease coming from? and do you have an automatic transmission? if it is coming from the boot area, and you have an auto, it may just be a result of your lift; a lot of members with a lift (usually 2.5" or more) have found that the drive shaft shifts slightly towards the auto trans oil pan causing it to hit the drive shaft boot clamp. the clamp either breaks off or snags on the lip of the oil pan long enough to tear the boot. I had this problem too--i found grease all over the place! I just removed the clamp and replaced it with a zip tie. its been almost a year now with no problems!
