Can't find zerk fittings on drive shaft

I have a 2018 Tacoma. I've seen zerk fittings to grease the drive shaft on other (older) Tacoma's but I don't see any on mine. I've spun and spun the drive shaft but I don't see any.

What am I missing? Aren't there supposed to be 5?

 

Dont remember the time frame, but I believe that in late 2017 or 2018 they moved to sealed joints/non greaseable. If anything you'd only have the 2 zerks on the front of the shaft, but I've seen posts of 2020's and newer having zero zerks. (This may be wrong info, or only partly correct, but there are definitely threads here talking about it in the 3rd gen section)

 

Front drive shift only, by front diff. My 18 sport only has one zerk.

 

No more zerks

 

I found 2 on the front but none on the rear.

2 on the front and none on the rear on my 2017.

 

You have to use Bluetooth, get with the times…!

 

Park of the no dipstick/lifetime fluids package.

 

Rear zerks went away June/July of 2016.

 

I have none on my 20

 

Ah yes wireless lubricants, Nickel Anti-seize actually developed that technology years ago it's the only logical explanation for how you cannot even touch the stuff and still get it all over you. Hell opening a new can by yourself is rolling the dice on a 50/50 of becoming the next silver surfer!

 

This thread will take you through 5 Zerks on the 2016 4x4s and then down to 2 in 2017.

Just like draining coolant or oil then doing something else up top guarantees it'll end up in the pan or bucket. It could be across the room and that bolt you drop will make it in somehow.

 

I was trying to remove the battery from my calculator so l could get the number, somehow it shot out bounced off the end table and straight down the HVAC Grate.
