tacoma scheduled maintenance

This is Toyota's odd name for the bolts holding the u-joints to the driveshaft. I need a crow-foot to torque mine, and they're never loose. (A crow-foot set at 90° to the handle of a torque wrench gives an accurate torque. Any other angle is inaccurate.)

Those are u-bolts. u-joints are the universal joints that allow flexibility in the driveshaft.

Ken

flexibility. I have a solid rear axle. This is 2wd.

You might want to find someone else to do this work.

There are two universal joints in your driveshaft, one where it connects to the transmission and one where it connects to the rear differential.

What is the torque range for u-joint bolts?

Thanks Michael C.
