Applying Lexus drive shaft TSB to V6 4runner to get rid of clunk
Anyone tried applying Lexus drive shaft TSB to V6 4runner to get rid of clunk yet. Will it work for the v6 to get rid of the clunk noise, or do they have different drive shaft assembly. Anyone have the part number and a link to the Lexus TSB. Is it the whole drive shaft or just one part.
Thanks

The thing that annoys me about that TSB is that it applies to the GX470 only... which is frustrating because its the same damn driveline! I say we all flood Toyota with emails on the driveline clunk issue and make them make a new TSB!

Did you replace the whole shaft assembly or just the slip yoke

I have had my GX470 shaft for 2 months now. Perfect so far.
I just replaced the one part (propeller shaft).

I have been doing extensive research on this, and I think it SHOULD fit.
If you look here, PROPELLER SHAFT & UNIVERSAL JOINT. Fits: 4Runner | Village Toyota Parts
you'll see both the Toyota part (371106A440) and the Lexus part (371106A480) are listed as compatible with a V6 4-runner 5 speed.
According to the Lexus TSB from Sept '08, the old part is 371106A480 and the new one that fixes the clunk is 3711060A40
So the part we should be looking for is 37110-60A40. I'm tempted to buy it, but I don't want to be out $300 if it doesn't fit.

There are several threads regarding this issue and how to simply fix it with proper greasing. But if you all want to spend money on a new driveshaft go for it...
Driveline "bump" after a stop

I had my oil changed Sat. and asked them to lube it and I still have the tump. I went round and round with everybody at Toyota and they where ass holes about this issue. Just want to add that I was let down as a customer. I've always thought of Toyota as an above average company, but after dealing with them on a couple issue I've realized that it's all about money in the end not the costumer. At first they would not acknowledge that they knew about the transmission bump, but after going round and round with them they finally admitted that they have known about this issue all along and have a name for it it's called "spring rap".
So in the end I'm disappointed in Toyota. Love my 4runner.
