    Experienced Moog buyers please! I am replacing my U-joint @ rear axle. I researched and found 4 reviews,both from Advance auto.
    Moog part 354 Premium has 2 reviews (neither application for tacoma) both reviews are good.

    Moog part 270 has 2 reviews as well. One of which is a 2009 Taco. Both complain about Non Zerk fittings and both are 1 star reviews.

    Just any additional input would be GREATLY appreciated from you guys! Thanks!

    Don't know about moog part #'s
    but always replace u-joints with greasable
    if it comes down to it, tell them you have a off-road, which has greasable u-joints, they should be the same part #,s as the sport but with zerks

    The Moog 354's will work. As long as your u-joint bearings have an outside diameter of 1-1/16 inches they will work.

    Moog has always made a superior product . I have installed thousands of their universal joints as well as their front end components and never had an issue .

    Years ago , I went to a driveline seminar . The speaker indicated that OEM uses polypropelyne universal joints because manufacturers consider 50,000 miles as a lifetime component . Poly universal joints are designed to last 50,000 miles under general usage .
    Agree with Sparky above . If you can get the joints with zerks or cap zerks , thats the way to go
