Description of the problem	Continuing problem on my 2003 v8 4runner with the drive shaft. When i come to a stop or when i accelerate after a stop there is a momentary lag that feels like a "clunk" or that someone has just run into your back bumper. Toyota dealer "fixes" the problem with grease to the slip yoke but after 2,000 miles it comes back and is only getting worse. I've complained to the dealer continually and lexus 470 (same vehicle) has a tsb on the same occurrence. It has become increasingly annoying and can only be classifies as a dangerous defect.
