Eliminating FJ Cruiser Stop Kick - Greasing the Spline

I had a common issue on my previous FJ Cruiser. I would get a "kick" after coming to a stop. It felt like someone had lightly run into me from behind, but that hadn't actually happened. Instead, I was afraid the transmission was failing. The mechanics checked the transmission indicating things were normal and I had the transmission oil changed, but it didn't go away.

Due to moving countries, I sold my first FJ and purchased another one and it had the exact same problem! I thought it was highly unlikely that they both had transmission issues (especially with less than 100k miles), so...

After some research, I learned that it was likely a severely under-greased rear drive shaft spline. If not greased well, the spline would stick inside the shaft then break loose causing the "kick" a few seconds after coming to a stop.

This video goes through the procedure I followed. I initially greased it a couple of weeks before this video and it greatly reduced the kick. I put a TON of grease in the spline until the grease started seeping out of the seal (as seen in the video). The spline was really tight, and the shaft was forced out several millimeters (not normal, but OK for this process). I returned today to check up on my handy work and put a little more grease in it. It is moving much more smoothly! It should now not need any more grease for a year.

I hope the comments above and this video helps someone with the same issue I experienced, and let me know in the comments!
