2015 RWD Zerk Fittings

I have a 2015 2WD. I looked up under there today and couldn’t find any zerks to grease the drive train. Am I crazy or do the 2WDs not have grease points?

 

No zerks

 

Toyota stopped putting serviceable bearings on 14+ trucks. All bearings are sealed now. Zerk fitting bearings are only as reliable as the person checking them.

 

Yep, and unless you did your own lube prior to the 14... the service techs had a habit to overlook that...

 

I grease mine regularly. They’re inside the u-joints. I have a 2015.

 

The Zerk fittings are all oriented in the same direction, so if you stopped your truck and they are all pointing upward, they would be hard to see. Change the position of your truck, turn it off and see if they are visible now.

 

4X4?

 

OP has a 2WD.

 

4X4?

 

Yep. 2017. I've greased the factory zerks since I bought it new. There's a factory service manual "map" identifying all of them and spec'g the grease to use.

Jack the damn truck up, put it in neutral (CHOCK THE OTHER TIRES), parking brake disengaged and rotate the drive line for perfect zerk alignment.

 

I have 4x4. Is the driveline different in the rear for 4x4 those years? Seems strange.

 

It does seem strange. I have a 17 TRD PRO. No zerks on mine front or rear.

 

NatetheGreatest,
My 2017 truck is a 4 x 4, and it does have Zerk Fittings.
I am glad I joined this Forum, TundraMcGov, has already helped me on the first day. I greased my Zerks the other day, and it was in an awkward position and my grease gun has a non flexible metal arm. Rotating the "propeller" would have certainly helped.

 

Here's the "map" of the zerk fittings on my (and Polebender's) 2017 4WD.
