Zerks?

Weird, I have a 17 TRD PRO and mine doesn't have any zerks. I'll double-check again whenever I go under the truck but it didn't have any that I could see.

 

Well, i thought it was mentioned that starting in 2017 at some point, there was a mixed bag of trucks with and without the zerks. Could be wrong.

 

Hopefully mine doesn't have the zerks otherwise I've been neglecting it for a bit lol.

They would be in both front and rear, correct? There isn't anyway that there would just be zerks at the front and not at the rear or vise-versa

 

That part I am not clear on. It sounds like a truck would either have all zerks or no zerks but again, i could be wrong. Manufacturing wise, it would make sense that its all or nothing.

 

Purchased my 2014 Tundra in 2021. Just crossed 320K KMs = 200K miles. Maintenance manual suggests tighten "and/or" lubricate propeller shaft every 10K miles. I have examined entire shaft around U-Joints and no zerks. Propeller and joints look as post by rockfordhx in January 2020. I have come across other small inconsistencies with this model and concluded it's because it's a 4x2 long bed. A few videos and chat online about 2014 4x4s having zerks but nothing/very little for 4x2s.

Anyone know if Toyota started using sealed U-joints earlier than 2018 on some models? Greasing is an easy job but it appears this model doesn't need it.

Thanks.

 

My '15 Sequandra doesn't have any either - found out after I crawled underneath with a grease gun - LOL.
