MOOG 285 Greaseable Super Strength Universal Joint for Toyota 4Runner

I needed to replace the universal joint on my Toyota Motorhome and Moog is one of the few brands I will trust for these components. It installed relatively easily and so far after about 20,000 miles still is great. No regrets saving a bundle compared to the Toyota OEM parts this time.

I used this High quality U join in my 1994 Toyota 4Runner. the fit was good. the vibration is now gone

I ordered this MOOG greaseable U-joint to replace a worn one on my 4Runner, and it installed without any issues. The build quality is excellent — heavy, solid feel with precise machining. The greaseable design is a nice upgrade since it allows for longer life and easier maintenance. Once installed, everything tightened down smoothly and play in the driveline was gone. A solid, reliable part that feels like it will last for years. Definitely worth it over a no-name brand.

Fit well. I wish it was made in USA instead of Mexico. The zerk fitting on the end is much more convenient than the typical location in the center of the cross, but the trade-off is it doesn't distribute grease well to the bearings at 3:00 and 9:00 relative to the bearing with the zerk. So there's a reason the original designers put the zerk in the middle.

Installed in my 99 4runner fixed my vibration and clunk when in drive. So far so good made a massive difference in drive quality at a much better price than oem. Just a tip that these only fit the rear not the double cardan.

Replaced both driveshaft U joints. Small sledge hammer and 19mm socket. Removed the old. Little bit of redline in the MOOG caps so the bearings don’t move. Hammer and socket the new MOOG u joints in. Make sure to screw in zerk fittings and grease u joints before installing driveshaft. Grease every 6 months. I am not a mechanic. Should probably use a u joint tool to properly install the MOOG u joints.

I normally put OEM stuff on my vehicles, but I didn't have time to wait for the part to come in for the OEM Toyota U-joint so I got this one. It's fine and of good quality; not sure what that other reviewer is complaining about. Moog is good stuff. The front u-joint on my rear driveshaft (94 4runner) was bad and this was a good replacement. However, I would caution anyone using one of these on the rear driveshaft / rear u-joint as the zerk fitting sticks out of the side of one of the bearing caps. If you don't take your truck on trails where you might bash things, this isn't a big deal. But if you do, you should probably get the OEM joint where the zerk fitting is protected.

Installed on a 1997 Tacoma SR5. Fit perfectly, no play or anything. Glides smoothly as expected.

This ujoint is built like a brick out house! I’m thinking that it’s probably better than the original or at least as good. It’s a decent price and a heavy duty component. I’m saving this for when I have play in one of my ujoints.
