I posted this in driveline but not getting much help on it...

I was rotating my tires and noticed my left rear wheel has tons of grease all over the inside of it, and there is grease all over the components as you can see in the pics below. The tie rod also looks kind of tweaked...

Looks like your outer CV joint boot on the halfshaft has failed. Tousley Ford has OEM replacements (new) and Autozone has rebuilt replacements. As for the tie rod, I would check with MPS or Ebay for used. For new replacement, you might try Tousley again. Good luck

I can't see the pictures but if its the ti rod boot you will have to buy the end link &if its the cv joint boot you will have to buy a half shaft,if you want oem ford anyway.
