A little splatter should be expected. Make sure the boot is pressed all the way on and that will keep it to a minimum.

I put it on with the grease that is on it when you send it, not even add since install. Is it something you have experience? I will put the other one (driver side) tomorrow as the shaft is stuck to the bearing when I first try to install it (rust sucks down here!!!).

yes, last times I check under the jeep, it's been a week after install and it have little grease that have escape so I'm not very concern about that. Will clean it when the weather get warmer, maybe this week when doing my oil change.

Nice feature from the rcv, no more steering wave when turning on hard ground, need to be tested on trail, maybe this month as the snow clear out
