You Need to Grease Your U-Joints if Your Toyota Clunks/Squeaks - Here's How

[@DartBProductions]

One thing I forgot to mention while filming and editing is that the vehicle needs to have full weight on the wheels when you're filling the slip yoke. Otherwise you will put too much grease in and it could blow out under stress.

You should pin this comment so that more people see this when people are looking at the comments section, sense it is near the bottom.😃

@@kianb4809 you right bro I thought I did that already. Thanks man👍

[@webkikif]

What does this mean? I need to load up the truck?

[@wbwills2]

Thank you both!

[@biofractal78]

Thank you for your last part of the video. I'm going through a difficult process in my life and it is hysterical that God used you to bring me a message even when I'm trying to run away from my problems watching youtube videos of car work and then feel good that I did something with my time, thank you God bless you and never stop doing that.

[@DartBProductions]

God is truly incredible, I'm so glad that he worked in your life through me. Hope you're doing well brother

[@smedleybutler1969]

Same here my friend!

[@teavirus777]

Thanks man, seeing this 3 years later but very nice to see someone else also interested in 2 very important things in my life as well, car maintenance and Jesus! I have a TRD Off Road 5VZ 2003, since a couple of years now, it has always shifted into reverse very slow and does that clunck sound whenever I come to a full stop, I'll give this a try.

[@DartBProductions]

So glad to help and that you enjoyed! Hope this is a fix!

[@jeremiahmcrae4051]

Thank you so much! I have a 1991 Toyota Pickup Rwd, and the squeak came on today so I was pretty concerned at first. Thank you for setting my mind at ease. God bless you!

[@ernestomarquez6655]

Thanks. I needed positive talk. I drove through BYU last year.. Nice

[@TheReelUnwind]

Replace all the ujoints and drive shaft support bearing and that clunk will go away. It typically is because each joint location has a little slip so as you driveshaft starts from a stop each tiny bit of slop adds up and creates a delayed input to the rear differential, causing a thud.

[@PotentialDifference1]

I changed my 2007 tacoma sport 2wd V6 rear differential fluid yesterday with lsd oik as described on the differential housing with a lsd only sticker on it. Now the u joint squels/chirps on reverse. It wasn't making these noises before the fluid change. Gotta try this method. Bye I like your message at the end. God bless

[@DartBProductions]

Best of luck man! Thanks for your support

[@doubleganger2]

About every fifth or tenth times I stop my 05 tundra I get a bump that's so hard I always look in my mirror to see if someone rear ended me. It's that hard. All I can find is that it's my slip joint and that ford has a special teflon grease for that so I'm going to try and see if that fixes it.

[@DartBProductions]

Best of luck to you!!

[@hereticleader4187]

Did it fix your problem?

[@austinbrown6390]

Change your transmission fluid

[@PracticalPostMan_FLA]

My 07 tundra 4.7L has a slight bump instantly when i left off the brakes from a complete stop and I’m thinking it’s the slip yoke. I also have a very mild vibration between 50-70 mph, i thought it was my cheap tires but since it’s doesn’t happen every time im thinking it’s related to the slip yoke being dry. Going to try to grease it first

[@DartBProductions]

It never hurts to keep things nice and lubricated!

[@thorwilliams7546]

Engineer I worked with said any type of grease is better than no grease- your thoughts on that? My 1992 pickup says it needs three different types.

[@nurhollissam1501]

Mind to share ur type of grease to greasing this shaft propeller? TIA

[@DartBProductions]

Not at all! I used Mobil 1 lithium molybdenum grease

[@consumercellc1109]

If you're getting that clunk your u joints are toast already

[@DartBProductions]

They definitely aren't good as new but I've seen improvement in performance by greasing them even after clunking and squeaking

[@ScottDLR]

Once a joint makes a noise, it's junk and even though lubricating it makes it quiet for a while, it's damaged and need replacing.

[@Psilocy-ben]

Thanks for the video. I have a loud clunk when shifting to reverse and back to drive. Think greasing the u joints would fix it?

[@DartBProductions]

I can't say for certain, but if it hasn't been done within the last 5000 miles it can't hurt.

[@Psilocy-ben]

@@DartBProductions it actually stopped, don’t know why it happened the one time. I greased everything regardless, running great now. Thanks for the reply

[@DartBProductions]

@@Psilocy-ben good to hear

[@arwenross7411]

My 2005 4RUNNER does that too. Whenever I come to a stop I hear a “pop.” I’m also recently having issues with the back tires spinning and there’s a clicking sound around the gear shifter and accelerator area. When I let off the gas, it’ll find its grip and ease on. Any advice would be great!

[@ejortega2590]

@@arwenross7411 Did you ever figure out the clicking noise?????

[@matthewhooks452]

@5:36 is the sound mine is making. Did it pop a little when you’d go in reverse and then back into drive for about 2-3 seconds ?

[@omarmartinez4485]

Hey so I have an 88 Toyota pick up 4x4 and what happens is once I’m catching up speed and I’m going to 4th gear and then 5the gear it vibrates do you think the ujoints could have something to do with that ?

[@billt0626]

What is the model of truck in the video?

[@DartBProductions]

2001 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner

[@Airpaycheck]

A little late for a question but here goes. I'm having similar issues with my '06 AC Limited 2wd, and when I looked at the joints I found no grease fittings. Are the fittings on the 4wd trucks only?

[@gusgus2055]

God bless you I needed to hear the word of God 🙏 Thur random video

[@DartBProductions]

Glad it was helpful 😃

[@reesespieces305]

My 1996 mercury grand marquis makes a clunking sound when i put it in reverse and in drive and people are saying it's the u joint so please help me with that

[@LovenotHate130]

I need to do this on my 2007 Escalade it makes a chirping noise

Could be worth a shot!

Don’t worry about your puberty squeaks. You’ll be over it soon hopefully with minimal humiliation, unless of course you post it online.

[@dannyesparza9110]

Hey will this fix a thump I get after releasing the brakes ? Every time I brake and let go off idle it tends to feel like a thump . I have a 02 tacoma prerunner

[@DartBProductions]

It might actually... I had a pretty significant thump when starting to accelerate and I haven't noticed it since then so maybe... If they haven't been lubed in 5000 miles or more I would do it. Better to keep them in good condition than have them replaced

[@dannyesparza9110]

Yeah I’m gonna lube them up as soon as I can because it’s a cheap solution thanks for posting this video my man it really answered my question

Yeah from now on I'll plan to do them when I change the oil.

My technicians roll their eyes every time they have to work on my truck even if it is just an oil change, tire rotation and grease the driveshaft. But they also know ill come out to the shop and yell at them if my tire pressure is off lol.
