    I have looked at my drive shaft and could find any grease fittings on my drive shaft....

    I have a 2WD 05 4cyl, 2nd gen.

    How do you grease the drive shaft? Thanks!

    It all depends on how long the dust boot lasts and/or the grease breaks down. It could be 60k or 200k it all depends there is no specific time period. They are essentially bearings they won't last forever they aren't expensive and don't take much to replace so I wouldn't be upset if/when they need replaced.

    Here is a good video on checking them and what not.

    It's weird how random this is. My 2013 TRD OR Prerunner does not have them. Must be specific models/years for 2WD

    The only rule is you have to check to know. Like you said very random.
