Front Drive CV Axles?

[Danno-Blammo]

Am looking for and improved CV boot lifespan on my front drive axles. Just replaced the stock set 'bout 9mos ago; am seeing grease spatter on both.

I shoulda went with new stock but since I lifted the truck I've wondered if i can get better aftermarket replacements?

Did you go with a split boot? If so thats probably where your splatter is coming from. Get some original replacements and be done with it.

No dont do that. Im saying if you used that style, that might be your problem. Use something like this o'rilleys ford expedition cv boot and watch this video for info on replacing it, How To Install Replace Front CV Axle Ford F150 Expedition 1AAuto.com: https://youtu.be/PpdI1BNkow8 .
