How to remove, inspect, and reinstall the drive shaft in a Nissan Xterra?

Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Place the transmission in Neutral with the parking brake off. Make reference marks on the driveshaft flange and the pinion flange in line with each other. If you're working on a1999 or later 2WD Pathfinder, also mark the front of the driveshaft to the transmission flange. Remove the rear universal joint nuts and bolts. If the vehicle has a two-piece driveshaft, unbolt the center support bearing from the cross member. Lower the rear of the driveshaft and slide the front of the driveshaft out of the transmission or transfer case. Wrap a plastic bag over the transmission or transfer case housing and hold it in place with a rubber band. Remove the plastic bag from the transmission or transfer case and wipe the area clean. Slide the front of the driveshaft into the transmission or transfer case or, if you're working on a 1999 or later 2WD Pathfinder, line up the match marks, install the bolts and tighten them to the torque. On models with a two-piece driveshaft, position the center support bearing on the cross member, install the fasteners and tighten them to the torque. Raise the rear of the driveshaft into position, checking to be sure the marks are in alignment. Install the bolts and nuts, tightening them to the torque. For 4WD models, mark the relationship of the driveshaft to the front differential companion flange and to the transfer case companion flange. Remove the bolts and nuts from the flanges, then lower the shaft from the vehicle. Attach the ends of the shaft to the differential and transfer case companion flanges, install the bolts and nuts and tighten them to the torque. Install the skid plate (if equipped).

Nissan Xterra Drive Shaft

The Nissan Xterra Drive Shaft transfers rotational energy from the transmission or transfer case to the Xterra's axles that move it. Typically, a Drive Shaft is a hollow metal tube with yokes at either end holding on to flexible joints, usually universal joints, so that the shaft can pivot as the suspension rises and falls. A second Drive Shaft may join the transfer case to the front differential on four wheel drive Xterras, while double cardan or constant velocity joints can work out the steeper angles. Changing angles due to suspension travel are compensated for by flexible joints, but worn or seized joints will result in looseness, noise, and vibration. When there is an imbalance due to a dent or missing balance weight or due to mud on the Drive Shaft, then bouncing occurs, which increases in intensity with speed. If the operating angles are incorrect, then it shakes at a low speed. To ensure durability, the design of Nissan keeps the tube light to limit inertia yet at the same time strong enough to handle torsion and shear stress. A properly balanced and lubed Drive Shaft on your Nissan Xterra can enhance power transmission and everyday dependability.

Q: How to remove, inspect, and reinstall the drive shaft in a Nissan Xterra?
A:
Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Place the transmission in Neutral with the parking brake off. Make reference marks on the driveshaft flange and the pinion flange in line with each other. If you're working on a1999 or later 2WD Pathfinder, also mark the front of the driveshaft to the transmission flange. Remove the rear universal joint nuts and bolts. If the vehicle has a two-piece driveshaft, unbolt the center support bearing from the cross member. Lower the rear of the driveshaft and slide the front of the driveshaft out of the transmission or transfer case. Wrap a plastic bag over the transmission or transfer case housing and hold it in place with a rubber band. Remove the plastic bag from the transmission or transfer case and wipe the area clean. Slide the front of the driveshaft into the transmission or transfer case or, if you're working on a 1999 or later 2WD Pathfinder, line up the match marks, install the bolts and tighten them to the torque. On models with a two-piece driveshaft, position the center support bearing on the cross member, install the fasteners and tighten them to the torque. Raise the rear of the driveshaft into position, checking to be sure the marks are in alignment. Install the bolts and nuts, tightening them to the torque. For 4WD models, mark the relationship of the driveshaft to the front differential companion flange and to the transfer case companion flange. Remove the bolts and nuts from the flanges, then lower the shaft from the vehicle. Attach the ends of the shaft to the differential and transfer case companion flanges, install the bolts and nuts and tighten them to the torque. Install the skid plate (if equipped).
