Double Cardan Joint??

[trdsport253]

Does our 5th gen have the Double Cardan Joint? I have the '13 Trail Edition. I want to tackle the propeller shaft myself and want some info before I start. In the manual it state to use the moly grease on the Double Cardan joint and the regular lithium grease on the spider and slide yoke.

There is a bunch on info on this already. Do a quick search on it and you'll have plenty of info to cover.

No there is no double cardan joint in either of our driveshafts. Some Tacomas had them I believe. The general consensus is to use regular grease in the spiders (4 nipples) and molybdenum grease in the slide yokes (2 nipples). Don't pump tons into the slide yoke.

That section of the maintenance guide is very generic across many Toyotas. Check here for some more detailed info on maintenance:
