Definitely going to change it out one weekend I have some time. The spray lube seems to keep it free for now. Ill probably buy a new one, I know I'm not going to want to have to do it again. Lol. I'll try to update when I get it changed.
I was going to check out you tube before I replaced it. I was under my truck spraying the u-joint with lube, It is a tight area to work in for sure. I have air hammers ect., I'm going to check it out a little more closely before I dive in. I haven't done front end or steering work in a long time.
I have had this issue also at the end of winter. Sprayed the u-joint and it was back to normal for a couple of months. Now it's binding again. Has anyone replaced the intermediate steering shaft? I'm guessing that's my next option.
That's good. Toyota is awesome when it comes to recalls lately. My tacoma got a new frame ect. with the recall. I almost sold my tacoma just before that, glad I kept it!
Always get the highest CCA available for your vehicle. it's worth the few extra bucks. We have had alot of below 0 and steady cold weather. I never have an issue. Maybe try J.C Whitney, northern tool or maybe EBAY for the heater??
I live on the litchfeild/manch border, very quiet here. Work in the city, awful. It's not what it used to be. Maine is beautiful, Portland is a fun town.
