Hi,
Where abouts is the grease coming out? In older style ball joints if you pumped to much grease in it would push past the seal.
Did these already have grease in them? they won't need to much.
Cheers, John.

Science says the boots can only hold so much then they will either leak or explode.
You were lucky.

I bought mine from Summit racing and they were inexpensive at the time. That was back in 2017.

Normal, more importantly did you follow the instructions and face the small notch on the boot where the grease is coming out of inboard of the wheel/brakes.
