This thread is long and about 4Runners BUT it includes the Lexus TSB which contains a good description (and parts#'s IIRC) for the GX470 fix.

Its actually very easy to solve.
You don't even need to jack it up. Just get your SO to operate the handle on your grease-gun as you take the hose and put it on the zerks. I think there are 6 on the AWD models.
On the Ujoints, just a couple of hits should do it. Listen for them to "burp."
On the slip-joint of the shaft, I hit is 18 times. You don't want to put too much in, but it is reported than it takes quite a bit to do the job. Even after you lube this, it will take a few days of normal driving to not clunck. For me it was about a week. I think you could make it work quicker if you find places to drive where you cause the joint to work. Even diving on the breaks would be good as to raise the rear upward and stretching the joint. Maybe even a rough railroad track crossing would be good.
Good Luck......a whole lot cheaper than replacing parts.

I have found that lubing only lasts about a week before the clunk comes right back. And I'm using plenty of it trust me. I have come to the point where I don't even bother lubing anymore since it's just a waste of time to me.
I did read on here that installing a lift helps significantly for whatever reason.

Have to wonder if your clunking noise is being caused by something other than lack of lubrication? One week before the clunk comes back after lubrication seems way too short a period of time.
Personally, I have found that after I lube the drive shaft on my 4Runner the clunking stops for 3-5K miles. For me that is lubing once or twice a year at most.
Your the man! What I started this thread for.
That's an old driveshaft number. Lexus TSB DL002-07 calls for driveshaft 37110-60A40, and it also calls for installing a Rear Suspension Control Arm Kit, 04006-09160.
You'll have to get the parts at a Lexus dealer. Toyota doesn't let Toyota dealers order parts that only fit (or are supposed to fit) on Lexus-branded vehicles.

Well I drive my car much more than that.
