If this belongs in "stock"

xj pls move but as it's not a stock XJ part i take it as modified lol. As title implies recently did the V8 ZJ steering upgrade it's been about a week and i was checking on everything and it looks like the excess grease is seeping out the body of the tie rod can anyone comment on if this is "normal". If you look you can see the little gap between the rubber boot and the seam where the grease is seeping out.

Looks like the boot must move down durring steering or you potentially have xj part sold as a zj part wich requires a xj part.
