Absolutely RUN! You could tempt fate and ask about the 'front knuckle' service. Toyota does NOT consider this regular maintenance. They feel it's only necessary to repair if it's leaking or broken. I asked my service manager the same question using the same terminology as you regarding 'birfields' and he said 'you mean the front knuckles?' Doesn't sound like either your service advisor or the mechanic he spoke with are to swift regarding cruisers. Hell, I'm a novice and know what you are talking about. Just ask CDan, he'll tell you!

I wonder if you called them "CV joints" if they would have had a better idea what you were talking about :

I would not trust them with mine if the service manager knows nothing about it.

Why not do it yourself? There are some excellent write-ups in the technical section, as well a bunch of guys on this forum that are always willing to provide advise if you need it. Not to mention the smart-shopper discount available on the parts you'll need. You'll gain some helpful knowledge about your truck and save a ton of $$ at the same time. It's not as difficult a job as it may seem.

Re:Can't Service Birfields ?????
That's okay. When I asked my dealer about the job, the service manager told me that as long as I was free-wheeling the hubs and running in 2wd I should never need to repack the knuckles. When I told him that the truck was full-time 4wd he told me that was an option for my truck. Really? WTF? :

Another time I went in asking about the supercharger. He asked me if my truck was a V6? or V8? Again, WTF? :

Moral of the story: 99.999% of dealers suck!!! Call American Toyota

¥ep, Moral of the Story, 99.999% but the .00001 % gave the good advise,
 
Found one Rixxer

On my way out to Worley Id today I spotted a Toyota pile for sale, on the way back stopped to check it out, 93 or so I am guessing , but no one was home, and no phone #

I am going back later today and will take some pictures, see how much they want for it, frt bumper is wadded up but other than that, preety straight,

Hopefully its original owner, with service records and or history, because @ a glance it has the factory lube in the knuckle,

See what the folks have to say maybee they will let me take it back to the shop to inspect it, sample the grease, show you, Res non Verba,

Your coming out Rixxer like it or not,
 
Alrighty

Okay so I went and scoped out this Toyota pile,

Now Rixxer . If You want we can move your re education to backwoodsgoopinfo,

If you want just wanted to throw that option @ you. What I could do (I think) is set it up so you need a password to get into a section I could start,
a more private setting, just a idea,
And I would be more than happy to give you Mod privileges

But got some info, on this here Toyota and the guy said it would be alright if I took it to my shop for further inspection,

Barb #2

Yep its Barb #2 we gotta talk to Rixxer . She has a degree in Sociology, they study this kind of stuff,


Used of cults, "brainwashing" or "mind control" refers to the unethical use of persuasion methods with the aim of recruiting people into joining or remaining involved with a group, movement, or cause.

Definition of 'brainwashing':

[T]ranslation of a Chinese term indicating "a forcible indoctrination to induce someone to give up basic political, social, or religious beliefs and attitudes and to accept contrasting regimented ideas."
Source: Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary

Also referred to as Mind Control. Sociologists, cult experts and others are sharply divided on this contentious issue.

Sociologists, Yep thats our gal got a BA degree in it, she will know how this happened,

So Toyota Sales has got a gal with a degree in this stuff, cool, and a Juris Doctor, a teacher of the law, scientific study of the law, So Rixatus,

Looks like you have been brainwashed by this little gal about grease,

Hello @ Toyota,
A question has come up between myself and a Toyota tech regarding the type of base and grade for the steering knuckle lube for Toyota Landcruisers prior to 1997 Model production,

I have Identified it is a #1 or #0 grade, and not lithium based,

The Toyota tech Identifies this as axle seal failure ,

[---001:000657:00689---]


Well nothing so far guys, but there it is again, Incident,

incident (not comparable)

Arising as the result of an event, inherent
(physics) (of a stream of particles or radiation) falling on or striking a surface (e.g. "The incident light illuminated the surface.")

Yep the stream of particles and radiation striking the surface , Illuminating ,

It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak

You know frank..... your inability to understand simple concepts is rather amazing.

First:
some old cruiser with a completely unkown service history, but very obviously leaking axles is not a good way to prove a damn thing.
Second:
Your webiste is a JOKE. AN ABSOLUTE JOKE.
Not only have you banned people that weren't doing any harm, you banned people and tried to say they were someone they were not.
You suck at running a website as bad as you seem to suck at everything else.

As for all this Barbara 31 and #2 crap that you posted........ your grasp of who does what in a major corporation is PATHETIC.
 
Sure Sure Rixatus,

Now heres the deal with the Monarch Butterfly

"Monarch Programming

Although there has never been any official admittance of the existence of Monarch programming, prominent researchers have documented the systematic use of trauma on subjects for mind-control purposes. Some survivors, with the help of dedicated therapists, were able to “deprogram” themselves to then go on record and disclose the horrifying details of their ordeals.

Monarch slaves are mainly used by organizations to carry out operations using patsies trained to perform specific tasks,"

So Rixxer As your dedicated therapist, exit counselor I will "Deprogram" you

The Rig does have a service history, the rig does have a discharging #1 or thinner grease,

Just like it is supposed to, Now I even have your "Master Professor" Idaho Doug to back me on that,

Its got a history Rixxer , So either Barb, will work I spose, Barb #1 is in charge of information
Barb #2 is responsible,

So Got a email into "Toyota Cares" so we will see if they do,
Doubt it, they are going to leave you out to dry, not help , and maybee I was wrong about you having to pull your "Stupid Card" since your following Barbs recommendation , and making your diagnosis based of that information of which Barb #2 is responsible,

So really Rixxer I really doubt these University educated gals are going to pull a stupid card, but pull it for you,
and go with theory #2

If you need a refresher on theory #2 and that would be that you incapable of using this grease correctly,

Well, I dont think So Rixatus, and dont think either Barb should make that call for you...
 
#1 and #2

As for all this Barbara 31 and #2 crap that you posted........ your grasp of who does what in a major corporation is PATHETIC.,


No Rixxer this is preety cut and dry,

Barb #1 is In Charge of information, "She is responsible for the strategy, development and operation of all systems and technology that support Toyota in the North America region."

Barb #2 is responsible,

Barbara Arnold is vice president, corporate responsibility for Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

"She is responsible for internal audit and ethics; enterprise risk management; environmental, health and safety; material compliance; the environmental coordination office; and the office of privacy."



"Office of privacy" in this office is the answer Rixxer,
