Frank you are correct that a Toyota used a Rzeppa Joint however Toyota folks traditionally call them a Birfield Joint. Are you an Amsoil dealer or something?

Sounds like you are hawking a product, you should consider becoming a sponsor of this forum. My guess is that some cool lube won't fix a busted part.
