for a 1999 Q45. It’s probably a pathfinder part, like most wear items are on this boat. But I can’t find it anywhere. Even the just the specs would be awesome, then I could order a generic one.
Edit: G body man saved the day. Apparently, u joints don’t come out of these driveshafts. I already have the center support bearing so we’ll see if that’s the issue.

Q45s have staked-in U-joints, so you have to replace the entire driveshaft.

There seem to be a lot of complete driveshafts for the ‘99 Q45 on Ebay for $85-$400 with a lot around $150. If you find one that’s in good shape wear-wize, that could be a last resort.

Huh... unfortunate. It’d better be the center support bearing then, which I already have. Thanks though! That explains why they were impossible to find. I would have been running around like an idiot trying to find one

Yeah I did notice that, which G body man stepped in to explain - apparently you can’t replace these u joints. Gotta make an edit

As someone else commented, at least replacements are well under $500? Though I have the center support bearing already, hopefully replacing that will be the solution to my wobbles.

Never heard of staked-in joints... *googles*
Well, ain’t that some shit.
Nice to see Google bringing up results on how to change them anyway.

Is the U-joint removable?
Looking at the Infiniti parts catalog, I see the whole driveshaft (3700), and a bearing kit (37521K).
Otherwise RockAuto lists a Dorman replacement driveshaft with a replaceable U-joint.

nope but I’d bet money on the center support bearing being the issue, I have classic throttle modulated driveshaft wobbles. It’s either the bearing (really more like a massive bushing) or I’m gonna have to look at shafts on the internet. (whoops innuendo LOL)

AWESOME I will save that rock auto link if it comes to that, I trust them over an ebay seller anyday. It looks like they aren’t removable

Could be worth it if you’re careful, though. But time would still be an issue, I think. I can’t find a direct fit for Infiniti, even on Rockford’s site . Looks like you’d still have to pull the shaft and take some measurements before ordering parts. Maybe call some local shops and see if they do driveshaft rebuilds?

The thing is, it isn’t even an issue unless I’m driving really fast. So it’s been on the backburner until now. I’m not worried though, my friends and I don’t mess around - transmisson swaps, head gasket jobs, etc. so if it comes to it, I’ll just buy a brand new driveshaft. $500 for silky smooth triple digit speeds sounds cheap

I can’t do it though, it made me paranoid in college. I don’t mainly because I’m a rigger for shows, I hang big things above people and if anything happens nobody can prove when you smoked it, they always test and then would say I was stoned and I couldn’t prove I wasn’t.

I hate non-servicable parts.
It was part of the reason why I was happy to see our 2008 Ford Edge left behind at a dealership. U-joint was squeaking and it was a $950 part at the dealership, and it was not the only problem. (had a random battery drain that would empty the battery in 8 hours but would only happen maybe twice a month in the winter).
