After greasing shaft, what else to lube and grease??

[ddicosmo]

I have a 2008 SR5 v6 4x4 T4R with 35,000 and just greased the shafts and changed the rear differential fluid (I sitll need to do the front diff and transfer case). While I was under the vehicle, I was wondering what else needs to be lubed and greased. Is there a post that shows what else besides the driveshaft needs to be lubed? For example, there are a lot of linkage connections for the suspension that seem like they should be lubed. Also, there are a lot of rubber connectors (for example, the rubber hangers for the exhaust system) as well. Should these rubber pieces get lubed as well? If so, what should I use to lube these rubber pieces?

Basically, I'm looking for the following info. as this is the first time doing this:

- Which rubber gaskets, hangers, and connectors require lubing? Also, what product to use for this?

- What needs to be lubed for the suspension pieces? What product to use for this?

- is there anything else besides the driveshaft that has zerk fittings and requires grease?

- Finally, is there anything in the engine compartment or other part of the vehicle that requires greasing?

Thanks for the info.

I've never found anything under the hood to lube except for the front latch and back hinges

staying tuned to learn something ( Mike will be along in a second or two ! )

You got all 6 drive shaft zerks, right?

People who live where corrosion is a problem sometimes like to drop the spare and clean and lube the cable and housing.

I've not found any grease fittings on the driveshaft but I have the RWD version. There doesn't seem to be any place to put grease on the entire vehicle. Did I miss something?

No, you're not missing anything. That one tube of grease will last you 10 years for this truck.
