2017 TRD Sport grease lubrication points

Sorry if this is a repeated thread but couldn't find the answer on my question.

Is there a drawing showing the location for the grease zerks for the TRD sport 4x4? Wha t to make sure i don't miss any of them.

Also what grease you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance!!!

 

If the sport is the same as the OR when it comes to the propeller shaft, there are only 2 spots to grease. These two spots to grease are called Zerks. They are on the U joints on your front propeller shaft. Get under the truck and look for this...


^^ Thats your front propeller shaft. On both ends of it, where it connects are your u joints. the look like this....



and this....



Basically get under there, and spin the propeller shaft by hand until you can see one of these in the u joints...



That little nipple or 'zerk' is what you are plugging your grease gun into and greasing. if it is as dirty as mine, clean it off first. lol.
Also, you may have to remove a little piece of sheet metal to be able to grease them. I never do, but its a huge pain to get the grease gun to attach with out. too small of a space.

The 17s for some reason, and unfortunately, don't have grease zerks on the rear propeller shaft.
I use Lucas Oil red and tacky grease.

 

My 2016 Sport 4x4 has 5 zerks on the drive shafts.

 

that is correct. for model year 2017, they do not have grease-able rear propeller shaft zerks. dumb toyota

 

Lol. What's funny about that, is if you had to replace the shafts, the replacement shafts have zerks... even for a 4x2.

 

Yeah. Idk why they didn’t include Grease able joints on the new trucks.

 

I'd trade my zerks for a powered rear window. Could always drill holes for zerks. My dad did that on his '09 PreRunner and 239,000 miles later, no issues.
