I was doing my 10,000 mile service today and one of the things listed in the service area was retorquing the propeller shaft nut( or bolt cant remember and dont have the book in front of me). What exactly is that? I have a 2003 Tacoma Double Cab Prerunner V-6 2wd.

 

Don't worry about it, that's only for the motorboat models.


Actually, I think it is (all?) the bolts that are on the driveshafts. I took my driveshaft off a while back and I was going to torque the bolts back down, but I didnt really see how I could get a torque wrench on there due to lack of room. So, I just tightened them with a regular wrench.

 

Greetings,
Its the Toyota way of saying drive shaft, took the picture from the service manual for me to figure that one out.

 

I dont think my 4runner's driveshaft ever been lubed nor the bolts have been torqued. Does anyone actually know the points.

sorry for the piggyback question.
