4Runner Propeller Shaft and Spider Joint Greasing. Don’t Overcomplicate It.

In this video I show you how to not overcomplicate or over think greasing the propeller shaft and U-joints in a 5th Gen 4Runner.
The biggest debate is what kind of grease to use and if you actually need two different types. Don’t over think it. You only need a single grease and the only requirements is that it be lithium based and NLGI #2 rated.

    Anybody running Falken Wildpeaks knows his stuff! Glad you only pumped 2-4 pumps on the slip yoke zerts. You can overburden the seals inside these units. Good content on your vids, subbed!

    Good video. One item I’d correct. Never mix polyurea grease with lithium grease. Doing so can actually be worse than nothing. You can get a reaction between those different greases that creates a rock hard substrate that will destroy the bearing surfaces. Use the type of grease in the video. Do not substitute with polyurea ever.

    Thanks. Good video. I had a tube of Amsoil Red grease NLGI 2, didn’t even pay attention if it’s Lithium based or just polymer… I hope it works fine 😅

    You’re welcome!!! I was fortunate enough to grow up on the farm and wrenching on things so I learned but also realize not everyone was able to learn these things. Happy to help in some small way.

    I just did my 4runner with this grease. I also used it on the ball joints. It's a good grease. I did so much research and spent days. It was a nightmare. Lucas red n tacky for the win!

    Just did this on my 4Runner today . However, after doing this, my suspension seems a little stiffer and there is clunking between the rear driveshaft and transfer case when I push the car up and down. I only did 2 pumps on the slip yoke.

    Ngl I didn’t remove the head shield on the front shafts rear area and that was such a bitch but if you position yourself in the middle you can make it work 😊
