    New 2019 SR DCLB 4000 miles

    Lifted it this weekend w Fox 2.5 with UCAs and the alignment shop noticed leaking grease from the driver side driveshaft CV boot.

    I located a pinpoint leak on the bottom of the boot. Cleaned and decreased really well and 'fixed' with super glue.

    Not much grease was lost, and probably only 25 miles driven. Try to have it warranted at 5000 mile service? Replace? Rebuild? Regrease?

    Hate to bear bad news, but this is the type of failure you might expect with a lift in the front. I don't think it will be covered under warranty.

    This is a liftkit some stealerships offer on new tundras...

    It appears something hit the boot while driving, nothing to do with the lift I would say.

    Nice.

    Future suggestion, use clear or black silicone instead of super glue. Silicone will flex with the boot
