Nissan Pathfinder CV Joints & Boots

At its debut, the Nissan Pathfinder was a truck-based SUV that appealed to families in need of a more rugged, more off-road-capable vehicle than an average station wagon or minivan. Over time, the Pathfinder has become more urban-oriented, stylish, and luxurious, offering car-like handling as well as roomy and comfortable interiors packed with smart and advanced safety features. Indeed, it is unlikely to see more recent Pathfinders off-roading as they are more suitable for family hauling on paved roads. Whatever Pathfinder you own and no matter how many miles are on it, we have the right parts to keep it up and running. For it to provide the handling and drivability you are used to, make sure its suspension components, including constant velocity joints, are intact.

Located at each end of the half-shafts, constant velocity (CV) joints transfer torque from the transmission to the drive wheels while handling the movement of the suspension. These joints are treated with special grease and sealed in rubber or plastic boots. Typically, CV joints themselves have a rather long lifespan and break down rather rarely unless their protective boots are damaged, letting grease out and debris in. If the leaky boot is not replaced, the joint will eventually wear out and break due to rust and lack of lubrication. The most obvious sign of a CV joint going bad is noise in turns. Don't wait for too long and find the proper replacements in our Nissan Pathfinder CV joints, boots and components selection.
