U-Joint Replacement - 2006 Nissan Xterra 4x4

What's up Internet! In this video, I demonstrate the processes and procedures that I performed to replace the u-joints on the front driveshaft for the 4wd system, on the 2006 Nissan Xterra! I noticed that the Xterra developed a vibration at high way speeds but I brushed it off by blaming my worn A/T tires. So when the vibration didn't go away after replacing the tires, I started digging a bit deeper. Thankfully at this point, the Xterra developed a clicking noise which led me to check out the u-joints.

Hey thanks for watching! Mine were probably never removed. Should be easier the next time around.

Any idea if it is possible to remove the u-joints with the drive shaft on the vehicle?

[@_moes_garage_]

​@@gautraudjyes you can! I talked about this at 6:51 and then again at 15:10 it's totally doable!

[@gautraudj]

@@_moes_garage_ oh, I took that as you theorizing that it's possible, but not actually checking

[@_moes_garage_]

Haha no worries, I had to put it all back together to check if it would work 👍
