The supplier is now marking this part number with a BLUE dot on the U-joint, and no marking on the box as indicated in the photo on the following page. If either of these markings ARE NOT present, dealers should return the part. If either of these marking ARE NOT present, your facing PDC (Parts Distribution Center) may create a manual R8 exception return for these parts, and you can return them to your facing PDC for credit. Toyota is working to stock new inventory of these parts. Note that grease should not be added to these U-joint kits.
