  • Binding in the driveshaft articulation points
  • Excess play at the transfer case, axle, or transmission connection
  • Noise caused by worn grooved bearing caps in Nissan driveshaft service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bearing cap diameter, axis length, and groove style before installation. This MOOG 446 universal joint is listed for 1986-2004 Nissan driveline positions, including Nissan Pathfinder front and rear driveshaft locations and Nissan D21 applications built for Japan-market VINs beginning with JN6 or from 11/1985 as noted in the fitment data. Confirm the exact driveshaft position on the vehicle before ordering, since fitment varies by location.
