I changed droplinsks on my Skoda Octavia mk2. After a couple of months they leaked grease. is this OK?

It makes me think they might be gone faster.

Never ever seen grease leaking from a droplink, are the boots torn or damaged? Many cheap droplinks are absolite rubbish and don't last long.

Next time you change, use Meyle HD droplinks, specially oversized to last a lifetime, they come with  4 year guarantee. The taxi drivers choice.

They don't, or shouldn't, contain grease.

Then what's on pictures?

I think they do contain grease most ball joints do.

I would email Meyle with the pics and ask their opinion and whether their warranty covers it.

Are you confident they are genuine Meyle and not ebay counterfeits?

I bought them from ebay. But seller is quite onest (got mobile pohne on ebay, called him, good communication). I'm going to communicate this with the seller.

2nd photo looks like torn rubber boot.

They contain grease to protect the joint, which is why they have a rubber boot. Non genuine normally need a spanner to hold the joint to enable the nut to be tightened. This normally forces the boot off the metal ring causing failure. Genuine or lemforder use a spline on the end to hold the joint, a much better method to tighten the nut up
