I think the drive shaft bolt is something different. WHy would they tell you to tighten this bolt every 15k if it's only on the RWD version?

I took a look at parts of the manual. They call the axel shafts (Drive Shaft) in this case. They never seem to say Drive Shaft's though, so is there only one drive shaft?

My 06 maintenance manual doesn't mention any drive shaft bolt. I think this was an oops by Toyota.

As far as the schedule maintenance is concerned, I pretty much do everything myself. I was sick of dealing with mechanics, so I bought the Toyota service manual, and it has been like a godsend. I just did this 15K service and it was actually pretty easy.
