KDSS maintenance? (1 Viewer)

[coltondesmond01]

Hello, I’m brand new to this forum and forums in general. I have a 2012 GX 460 and I’ve had a clunk for a while now. Developed pretty fast after I first got it in early 2021. It definitely is coming from the driver side front KDSS ram. I can have someone rock the car while I’m under there. I am just installing UCAs and noticed a grease zerk on top to the KDSS ram and am wondering if that might help. I can’t find anything anywhere on the internet that acknowledges it. I just don’t want to throw grease in there and realize it’s a KDSS fluid bleed port or something disguised as a zerk.

Does anyone know about this zerk and if grease is needed in there? Or has anyone experienced a clunk coming from the KDSS? I off-road it quite a bit, the car has been through some rough terrain so I have come to accept clunks a normal part of my driving experience

I don't think KDSS was ever offered on an FJ40 series or FJ55.

Might try this forum instead...

Lexus GX - GXOR

Including the Prado 120/150 series

Thanks! Like I said I’m new to this and now I realized I posted this in the wrong place.

It appear a to be a bleeder screw. You should put a cap on it so it doesn't rust closed.

I believe you are right. I had one on it and only took it off for the picture. Thanks for the help!
