Default A-Arm seals leak?

All -

Check out my pics and tell me what you think. I noticed it
when I was installing my plow the last weekends I had time
to mess with my wheeler. What is your take?







Thx,

They should just have grease come out the end when the ZERKS get pumped...Correct.....
Why do they look so wet?
Maybe just water spot there...........Caper.........

That looks like normal seepage to me. I wouldn't worry about it unless you notice it get worse. Everything on my rig that has grease in it looks like that, or worse. Of course, mine is a 95, so I am not quite as concerned with little greasy spots as you are.

a arms dont have seals really. just something like a dust cover. dont really keep stuff out just helps keep most of the dirt flying around the wheel area out of the bushings

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure what to think. This is my
newer 2008 SP800 with less than 100 miles. So I didn't know if
there was some seal leakage or just grease or what.

Okay all good news!

i would agree with the above. the a-arm have 2 plastic bushing on each end with a rod/pipe though the bushings and the a-arm. there is a bolt on each end holding it in. other than grease it could be water. but if you grease it. you wont have to worry. just normal grease comeing out.
