Great video, not a lot of gabbing that wastes your time, informative, straight and to the point.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad it was helpful and that you like my straight-to-the-point style! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
Straightforward and well explained. Thanks! Now if you’ll excuse me I have some driveshafts to grease
Thank you for watching and for the compliment! Be sure to check out my other 4Runner maintenance videos if you are interested! Thank you!
Don't beat around the Bush, no fluff awesome video thank you!
Thank you for the compliment and for watching! Also check out my other 4Runner videos with a no fluff format as well if you are interested! Thank you!
Excellent video, thanks.
Thank you for watching, I’m glad it was helpful! Also check out my other 4Runner and Toyota maintenance videos if you are interested!
I just read my.manual for my tundra and I was like propellor what do they mean 😂 thought it was gonna be the fan that sounds like its gonna take off when I start it
Lol ya it must be a somewhat outdated term, most people I know refer to it as a drive shaft. Thank you for watching!
Appreciate putting out the video. It helped.
Added information for anyone planning to do this:
1. For the front shaft, back spider joint, it is very difficult to grease from below; grease from above instead.
2. You don't have to jack the front to grease the front shaft. As long as your are not in 4WD mode, the shaft still spins.
Thanks for the tips! Thank you for watching! I’m glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
good info...thanks
Thank you for watching!
In my hilux handbook it states two different type of greas. Can you use just the one. Thanks for the video.👍🙂✌️
Yes you can as long as it is NLGI 2 Grease, I have some listed in the description if you are interested! Thank you for watching, I'm glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
Thanks for the great video and also for taking the time to answer my question. 👍🙂✌️
Thank you for watching! I try to answer as many questions as possible! Thanks again!
What do you do if the grease fittings are not facing down where they're easily accessible to you?
I move the vehicle off the ramps and then back on to get the fittings on the bottom, sometimes it takes a couple of times to get them where you want them. Hopefully this helps, thank you for watching!
What happens if you pump more than 3-5 on the shaft?
Supposedly the shaft seal can pop out with too much pressure from the grease. Hopefully this helps, thank you for watching!
Just as a heads up, I take apart the slip yoke to grease it because I find that greasing through the zerk does not provide enough grease before it starts to come out and it does not reach the lower splines so they run dry.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate this tip and hope others will too. Anything to keep our machines running in top shape!
How often is it recommended to grease the driveshaft joints? I have a 2020 taco off-road 4x4.
I’d do it every 10k
What’s the intervals on how often this is recommended?
I usually do this at every other oil change or 10K. Thank you for watching! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
What about a limited with the full-time 4wd shafts 2024
does anyone know what book he showed in the beginning of the video that showed the grease name and type? I use a Haynes repair manual which is helpful but not nearly as helpful as this book appears to be.
The book your asking about is the owners manual. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
question is.. what grease or is it normal grease same for every vehicle?? I am new to these mechanic things and I have a paid off 99 4Runner but it has begun to jerk when I switch to reverse. It’s not the transmission fluid and before I assume it’s the u joints I want to figure this out first
The grease needed is NLGI No.2 and I have some linked in the video description if that is helpful!
Thanks for the clear pics...I'll have to see if my 2020 Tundra needs this
Thanks for watching, I’m glad it was helpful!
Dale I believe Toyota made the tundra later 2018 sealed joints
@@LiquidSm0ke you must be correct because I couldn't find them anywhere on my propeller shaft
@@dalephillips8250 cheers !
Very informative video. Thank you and Cheers, Mate.
I bought Extreme Super Duty Performance Calcium Sulfonate Molybdenum Grease.
It’s NLGI 2.
Is this ok to use?
I believe as long as it meets the NLGI 2 spec you should be good to go. Thanks for watching!
@@5MinuteFixit thx for the response!
Under what conditions does the front slip yoke slide in and out just out of curiosity I did mine and I had someone jump on the back of the 4Runner and I could see the rear slip yoke slide in and out, the front not so much at all but it does have signs that it’s had some sliding in and out over time
It would happen suspension articulation, possibly a large speed bump or similar. Thank you for watching and be sure to check out my other 4Runner maintenance videos if you are interested. Thank you!
Just did this on my 4Runner today.
However, after doing this, my suspension seems a little stiffer and there is clunking between the rear driveshaft and transfer case when I push the car up and down. I only did 2 pumps on the slip yoke for fear of over greasing.
2 more pumps should do it
Thanks for the nice video bro.. I have the same like yours, but the dealer is not doing the service . Thanks.. 👍👍😊👋
Thank you for watching, I’m glad it was helpful! Be sure to check out my other 4Runner maintenance videos if you are interested! Thanks again!
I pumped 5 in the front slip yoke and grease came out the front seal...
More grease won't hurt it at all.
Interesting I have a 2017 Tacoma and it only has 2 fittings TOTAL. 😳 (both at the main shaft spiders one front and one rear)
Is it 2wd?
I got a 2015 4wd, just did the u joints, but I swear there's no grease fitting for the slip yolk.
Thanks
Thank you for watching, I’m glad you found the video helpful! Please consider giving it a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
What bout 2018 rav4 awd? Need grease or no
I’m not super familiar with the driveline of the RAV4 maybe someone else can chime in and help out. Thank you for watching!
so the grease can be used for both spider joint and slip joint?
Yes the grease I used (linked down below) can be used for both. Hopefully this helps, thank you for watching!
Does the 2wd 4th gen 4runner have grease fittings on the drive shaft?
Yes it does but there is no driveshaft going to the front differential only the rear. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching!
@@5MinuteFixit I have been reading that the 2wd 4th gens (I have a 2004) do not have zerks and are a sealed drive shaft. Of course I probably should go look for myself to confirm.
Why do you need to this & what happens if you don't, because this seems not to be the priority on 4runner maintenance.
It’s just a good idea to keep the driveshaft lubricated. It helps prevent excessive wear. Hopefully this helps, thank you for watching!
@@5MinuteFixit Thank you & your video is helpful. I got a 99 Limited 4runner at 280,789 miles just changed the front differential, transfer case, & rear differential fluid. Also replaced the rear differential breather valve too. I will get a grease gun & do this project next week🙋
@starforcefighter that’s great you gotta love the reliability of a 4Runner!
My Daughter's 99 4Runner 2WD w/270k developed a shake at 30-35 mph. Turned out it just needed this maintenance. Quickie-Lube type shops don't do it as part of the regular service. I don't know if they'd even do it if you asked for it. "Umm, what's a 'zerk fitting'?" Lol
@rickcraver9786 I’m glad it was something minor and you were able to fix the problem easily! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Of course my 2020 Tacoma 4wd has no zerk fittings. Thanks for cheaping out Toyota
Seriously! That's kind of unfortunate and it was such an (fairly) easy job to do to lubricate them.
My 2017 doesn’t have grease zerks either 😒
Nice information, thank you.
