Both AutoZone and oreillys say it’s the 1330 not the 1310. Is that right?I have the 2011

[@efrainguzman6143]

I checked the link that you sent me and saying that that’s the incorrect part for my 2009 Toyota Tacoma

[@nealnaz]

Before attempting to extract the U-Joints, I found spraying any penetrating oil on those needle bearing caps, makes a huge difference when pressing them out and then back in.

[@KFloTacoma]

Great idea!

Hey bro, just wanted to say thank you for posting these videos. They have helped me out a ton on my Tacoma. I do all my work myself and you are my first thought on how-to videos for my truck. Keep it up!

[@FloridaSunMitochondria]

Excellent video as usual!!

[@KFloTacoma]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

Another 10...Thanks for posting. Question what grease did you use for the front drive shaft zerks and is it the same for the rear 2 also.

[@KFloTacoma]

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel George! I use the Valvoline Multi-Vehicle High Temperature Red, it's the same one I have on my Amazon page. I do use it for all the U-Joints and ball joints

[@frankgulla8782]

Great video! Why did you change your u joints? Did you have any vibrations ? I have a vibrational issue with my 06 Tacoma, 125 k miles and was thinking its a bad u joint. Thanks for your time and effort.

I was getting the high pitch screech - that gets faster as you drive faster

[@MorganMcGinnis]

i failed at removing my u-joints from my 93 t100, i think theyre factory/stock LOL.... damn things just wont come out.... even busted the caps trying to press them out, still wont come out haha..... hopefully the shop down the street has better luck than i had....... NEVER had this much issue getting U-Joints removed

[@KFloTacoma]

Jeez, good luck bro! Did you by any chance try soaking it with PNB Blaster/Liquid Wrench?

[@MorganMcGinnis]

@@KFloTacoma yeah, they were torched... im convinced they were original u joints from 1992.... the shop managed to suceed... so $270 later jve got a fresh driveshaft......... pricey but IT WAS WORTH IT :) :) have a great weekend!

[@KFloTacoma]

Awesome! have a great weekend as well!

I have a question KFo. I took my 2011 Tacoma to Import Auto to replace a bad U-Joint. Up to now I’m hearing a grinding noise once in a while. What do you think is causing that on and off cracking noise when I accelerate. Do I just need to grease the ujoint? Thanks for your time.

[@efrainguzman6143]

Are the front U joints are the same part number as the back ones?

[@KFloTacoma]

They're different. I have the links in description/pinned comment

Hello! 2008 Tacoma sport 264k miles shuddering and vibrating under seat whenever i hit 2k rpm or hard acceleration but only does this towards the end of a gear or higher rpm,, not at all at low rpm or from a start,,, i was sure it was my front ujoint as i saw the bearing dust stripe on my undercarriage but the shop said no they think its transmission. Ive read alot that a flush fixed this problem and u joints. Do you think i should change it out and this might work and if so do i HAVE to change filter? or does his sound like ujoint? One day i did hear i tiny squeak from ubder the truck when i accelerated further making me think its a u joint. BUT i got the truck at 100k miles and is now 264k and ive NEVER changed the fluid yet (i know dont hate me),, any suggestions? Great channel btw, open to anyone who wants to help thanks!

[@maj8301]

thank you for watching and have a nice day

[@SangTran-zn7lq]

I'm getting conflicting reports of using the Spicer 5-1330-1X and you're using 5-1310-1x u joints....whats the difference?

[@KFloTacoma]

1330 is not greaseable. 1310 is greaseable

[@swj2556]

@@KFloTacoma You seem to use greaseable parts whenever you can. What's the advantage? Why not use non-greaseable u-joints, and ball joints?

[@MorganMcGinnis]

@@swj2556 with greaseable, youre able to re-grease/service them to prolong their life and effectiveness....
