Have a weird issue. Went out to go to the store and found a pretty large pile of grease under the pitman arm to drag link fitting. It was not there yesterday. I checked the boot and there are no holes or tears. Also there are always drops of grease dripping from the zerk fittings on all of the fittings with the exception of the upper ball joints. I greased the front end about one month ago. I use Lucas Red and Tacky. What the heck is going on here?

I wouldn’t worry about it because it seems your boots have such a good seal that they are bulging from too much grease in them. There is still pressure inside since your last greasing if anything you could squeeze the boots to get the excess pressure out.

It's just excess grease with no where to go until gravity took over.

No big deal but I'd wipe those joints if you don't want a messy floor.
