Detailed Description

Dorman 946-239 is a rear drive shaft for 2000-2004 Nissan Pathfinder part-time 4WD applications. It is engineered as an OE FIX replacement for vehicles that originally used permanently staked universal joints, making future service more straightforward. The steel shaft, 3-inch diameter, 46-inch length, and 0.065-inch wall thickness provide the core dimensions needed for a proper driveline replacement. This part cross-references Hyundai/Kia OE number 373002W600 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

  • Worn or damaged rear drive shaft assembly
  • Driveline vibration caused by a failing shaft or U-joint assembly
  • Service difficulty from non-serviceable staked universal joints
  • Noise or clunking from driveline wear
  • Loss of driveline smoothness in rear-wheel power transfer

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2000-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, rear, part-time 4WD. Verify shaft length, flange connection points, and driveline configuration before installation. Inspect related driveline components, including U-joints and mounting points, during replacement to confirm the source of wear. Part number 946-239 is intended for the rear driveline position only.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are built to address known service issues in original equipment designs while maintaining application-specific fitment. Part number 946-239 follows Dorman’s replacement-part engineering approach for the Nissan Pathfinder rear driveline application.
