Under conditions of heavy usage in hot weather, some Celebrity models with the police option may exhibit grease leakage through a vent hole located in the right hand inner drive axle boot.

This condition can be corrected by replacing the right hand inner boot with a non-vented boot. Prior to installing the non-vented boot, the joint should be thoroughly cleaned and relubricated with the grease included in the service kit. Refer to applicable Service Manual for Service Procedures.
