    2021 Tacoma off-road recommends propeller shaft torque check at service intervals. My off-road has no zerk fittings so I'm assuming no service grease is needed. Anyone experience this? Also, where can I get torque specs? I know the driveshaft bolts are at 65 ft lb.

    I highlighted the location of the fwd driveshaft universal grease zerk (If you have one). It seems that many later models do not and some do. Unclear if some owners are not able to find them and they all have them or if some do and some do not. Seems odd that it would have inconstancies on a part like that of the same MY vehicle, though.

    Looks like all of the tq is the same for the Universal flange fasteners. There are a couple other torques on the diagram that might be worth checking if you're already under the truck with a tq wrench in hand.

    I can post clearer pictures if needed, just used snipping tool and split screened to reduce the number of attachments.

    Full disclosure this is from a 2016 FSM but I can't think of why anything would be different.
