Drive shaft thunk & clunk

[007Runner]

What is the latest regarding Toyota's stand on the drive shaft thunk & clunk? Have any TSB's been issued or a new drive shaft put into production?

No. Please see this thread for more info: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=211367#post211367

The newer 4runners may have the fix already from the factory. However, there are '06 models with clunk so this is why i emphasize, "may".

Is it a fact that future 4Runners got a newly designed drive shaft?
Unless I missed something, nothing has been done to correct this.

New Lexus GX470 has the fix. The only sure thing is to get your 4runner (or another 2007 on the lot) and match parts numbers with the Lexus TSB........assuming that Lexus and Toyota use the same part number system.

Mine is not doing it very often lately, either. I think that the A/C kicking on and off all the time emphasizes the problem, and it's not really A/C season right now.

I wonder if the synthetic grease you have been using worked out all the petroleum grease from the factory. As a result lubricates everything so well that maybe it will never do it again.
