2002 M35 Drive Shaft

[donutdavid]

Hey boys, as in topic title my drivers side drive shaft boot is wide open and I suspect it's been like that for a while as grease is all over suspension arms.

The question is what is the most cost effective way to repair the boot and where or to order whole new drive shaft from Nissan?

Anyone had this problem?

I have inquired at local drive shaft repair joint where for more common cars you can simply get a swap for a repaired DS, not for Stagea and he has never seen one repaired?

Thanks

It seems hard to get the nissan OEM part number, if you get it let me know, I'm chasing them to

The boot isn't that hard to change man I had never done one before and it only took me like an hour to do. So was not to bad, but if you find the part number let me know :-)

Are you talking about the inner boot or outer boot? The guy at the repair shop said that he could maybe find the match but inner is the problem???

The inner boot is an easy repair. Had mine done for $120 at Rydalmere CV workshop.

just go to your nissan dealership and order some dont use universal ones as they aren't as good.......... ill look part numbers up or Daleo should know LOL

found this too.......... (note drivers side inner and passengers side inner are a different part number, but outsides are the same)

also try the search function next time as this has been covered a few times

Sorry man didn't mean to bring up stuff being covered, Thanks for the info and I'll try nissan first but part numbers will make it easy.

Cheers

Notice the part for the boot has a star, not a part number. Nissan ordered some of the other part numbers in for us but none were the inner boot. A driveshaft shop would be your best bet. Or there are also Various Nissan boots on ebay that look similar, could be cheap to try and order one off measurements...

[iamhe77]

That star just means that particular part can't be ordered separately and only comes if the group of parts are ordered (39156KA, 39155KA or 3910KLH)

[scotty nm35]

Those are the numbers they ordered in, you are welcome to try if you like...

Why wouldn't they have the boot separate? It's usually the part that fails.

this was the inner drivers side cv boot.

this helped me find the ones i needed. but i couldnt find my own recepts unfortunately.

[ClassOne]

The part number is listed in that diagram 39101(LH) for the inner boot.

You can buy it on its own.

Is that confirmed 100% that the inner left and inner right are different boots?

[scotty nm35]

Yes, different boots. Only the passenger side has the half moon cut outs on the CV housing.

I think that part number is for the complete shaft.

Just a quick update on this issue,

After all the searching and calls to nissan I've decided to do it the easy way which is called Greg from Autosport Kirawee (02 9521 1388) who said yep we have them in stock and all done cleaned regreased and fitted within two hours for a resonable price what a service.

I have used them before for gtr work (4wd didn't work) very familiar with imported cars and performance kind of work.

Would highly recomend them especially if you not DIY kind of guy or just busy.
