Nissan King Cab Hardbody Truck driveshaft upgrade (D21 and D22)

 updated 5/2010

.The Rear two piece DRIVE SHAFT

I had to get rid of the center support bearing. But had a weird/Hum vibration above 60MPH. So went with a Nissan one piece driveshaft. A one piece rear driveshaft from an 01-04 Frontier (D22) Crew Cab (not CC long bed) Any D22 V6 4wd King Cab will also work. Its the same wheelbase as the D21 King Cab 116". Fits like a glove. Did not have to do anything to Truck. I cut off old center support bearing mounts just in case AFTER a few weeks.

This upgrade works for any King Cab or Crew Cab 4wd with a H233 or C200 rear axle. 86.5-2004. Next time I remove d40 shaft I will measure it. I think its very similar in length.

 

There is two shafts used from 01-04 for some reason. The short one is a pathy shaft. The big difference between truck and pathy is both use 1310 U joints. But pathy has inside clips.

Nissan Part number Weld to weld is 45.5". Some junk yards sell by this measurement.

This is the one from a Crew cab one I run in my 93 D21 King Cab.

 

This is my spare shaft from a 2004 D22 King Cab.

Weld to weld is 46.5". Some junk yards sell by this measurement.
