I bought an 86 mustang yesterday, I drove it home about 150 miles. It has all new suspension upgrades and had the vehicle inspected by a ford dealer before I purchased it. The car passed with flying colors. I bring the car out of the garage today and I see this thick reddish purple colored grease all down the lower half of the car from my front wheel to my back. What is the problem?

take the wheel off and check it out.That would be your best bet

It may of had the front bearings re-packed or changed on it. It is a very simple fix none the less. Shouldn't take but about a half hour a side at most to take apart inspect and re-assemble.

Yea, I am thinking a wheel bearings might have been replaced and flung grease out. Make sure the dust caps are on the front wheels ?

could of also run over something of the nature during your trip home if there is no evidence of a leak on the front wheels.

^^^^ Very possible young grasshopper!!!

yes I think that may be the case since I dont see any grease on the wheels behing the wheels or anywhere else under the car. However it wasn't blood and guts, it did smell like grease, look like grease, and taste like grease.

You know the taste of grease ? That could be the problem.

P.S. POST PICS !!!
