Maybe I missed typed. I deffiently added grease! I packed the knuckle and the housing.

*****UPDATE***** I broke the passenger side down again.... and what did I find????? Nothing. Apparently I was right, when we bled the brakes we didnt have silcone around the opening for the brake line. So some brake fluid, and brake clean went down in the hole and made its way to the...

I’m about to lose it.... Before I do, I will explain the issue. I bought the truck about 2 months ago. I’m happy as can be, it’s a great truck. So one day I noticed the passenger side was slinging grease oil mixture. After reading I see that I need to get in there and replace the seals. OK...
