    No, the dealer will put in the same plastic crap you already have. Which with grease, will be fine/quiet.

    Cool beans, I saw the TSB has them applying grease, sure it'll do the trick!

    To be fair, the factory applies grease. They just don’t use a good quantity of a grease or one that is thick and stays around.

    gotcha, i assumed the TSB would have them at least upgrading the type of grease or something compared to what comes to the factory. seems silly for them to replace it with the same shit and not even upgrade the grease lol. guess that's mfg logic...

    Disc Brake Grease is hands down the best option, other greases and lubricants melt off in high temperatures, been using it for 15 years on my Tacoma's.
