Re: Drive shaft slip yolk

Quote:
NYCTRD previously said: View Post
It feels like my slip yolk "sticks" a little when starting from a dead stop. Or the rear brakes stick a bit...
My money would be on the brakes; not sure how you would feel (or tell if it was) the slip yoke.

Quote:
QUESTION: Do you really have to use two kinds of grease (one for the yolk, the other for the U-joints)?
No, not if you use a high-quality NLGI #2 grease, for example a good synthetic NLGI #2 grease.

I assume it's a pretty straight forward design. Also, shouldn't the shaft have a "bellows" type of boot to keep dirt from getting in the seal??
Never seen one on any other Toyota drive shaft. Dirt near/in the seal not a big issue in my experience - the tight clearance between the shaft and the slip yoke keeps everything out as far as I can tell.
