  Q: How to check and replace the driveshaft components on Nissan Juke?

  A:

  Check that the driveshaft nut is correctly tightened; if in doubt, remove the split-pin. Check that the nut is tightened to the specified torque, and then refit a new split-pin. Refit the roadwheel trim or centre cap (as applicable), and repeat the check on the remaining driveshaft nut. Road test the vehicle, and listen for a metallic clicking from the front as the vehicle is driven slowly in a circle on full-lock. If a clicking noise is heard, this indicates wear in the outer constant velocity joint. If vibration, consistent with roadspeed, is felt through the car when accelerating, there is a possibility of wear in the inner constant velocity joints. To check the joints for wear, remove the driveshafts, then dismantle them. If any wear or free play is found, the relevant joint, or joint components must be renewed. Note that the inner constant velocity joints are not available separately and if worn a new driveshaft(s) will be required. Remove the right-hand front driveshaft. If the bearing housing was removed with the driveshaft, the shaft will need to be carefully pressed from the housing. Note the fitted position of the metal dust cap, and then remove it from the inner end of the driveshaft. Remove the metal shield from the bearing, and then using circlip pliers, remove the circlip from the driveshaft. Using a long puller withdraw the bearing from the driveshaft. Fit the new bearing onto the driveshaft and carefully tap it into position on the shaft. Fit the new circlip making sure it is located in the groove in the shaft. Fit the new metal shield onto the driveshaft and carefully tap it into position on the shaft. Fit the new metal dust cap onto the driveshaft and carefully tap it into the position noted on removal. Where applicable bolt the bearing housing to the rear of the cylinder block, then refit the driveshaft.
