there is grease splash on the passenger side rocker, small amount of grease splash on the passenger front wheel and on the frame rail on the passenger side.

maybe from the road hopefully?

just in case, worst case scenario, where could it have come frm if it was the jeep?:confused:

Check your ball joints, and if you have 4x4 the cv joints. if any of the boots are ripped you have to replace them.

just a 2WD. so basically, all i need to check would probably be the boots on the ball joints im assuming? as in, no where else could be the culprit besides ball joints?

If the ball joints were bad I wouldnt think there would be a way for that much grease to make its way to the side of the Jeep. Theres hardly any grease in those stupid joints which is why they go bad.

Stick your head under the Jeep just to make sure. Shouldnt take 20min to go over everything good. Wash it off and be happy.
