    Hello everyone! I am wondering which drive shaft I would need to replace on my 2010 4runner to get rid of the clunk for good. I am tired of greasing it all the time. I think the 2016+ 4runners it was fixed so maybe that drive shaft or the Lexus GX one? I’ve seen some topics on this but can’t figure out an exact part number. Any help with this would be appreciated!

    I’ve heard that if you apply too much grease to the slide yoke zerk it will lock it up the skid yoke and cause a clunk as you describe.

    if that’s not it then the only other possibility would be a worn out u-joint. IMHO.
