    I finished lubricating both drive lines today. I found one grease fitting for each for each universal joint for a total of 5. I have drawing I got online that showed a total of 8. Did I just miss some, or is the drawing I got online wrong for my vehicle? Photos would help.

    Also, I expected to find some grease fittings on the ball joints, but found none. This is a 2011 Tacoma Access Cab with 53k miles on it.

    On a stock truck there are only 5, 2 on the front driveshaft and 3 on the rear. Some aftermarket balljoints and tie rod ends have grease fittings but the stock ones don't.
