Re: What damage could have been done if...
no, too much grease in the cv axle cause any form of driveability issues. It might smoke a lil because grease got squeezed out onto the exhaust but other than that there is NO possible way it could hurt anything. Its a rubber boot that would be pressing against metal every direction it could go. The boot would pop before anything else could happen.
Now if they didnt put the knuckle/cage back on the axle shaft correctly, the CV joint itself would start to lock up (or if they lost one of the balls inside the knuckle joint)
you may have 2 issues going on, might be a front diff side bearing starting to seize up and it just happened to occur right after you had the axle boots replaced.
