Hello Just got my X back from the dealer. The axle broke inside the diff and broke some stuff in there. All is covered by the warranty(whew. I can drive I just can't use the 4 wheel drive they said the parts will be in in a week or two.

Well my X did not make it a week or two the axle walked its way out doin about 65 on the PA turnpike no xtra damage just a big mess of grease and gear oil. The dealer said it was safe to drive(bull--it)if not for my cat like reflexes [LOL] It could have been a fatal disaster. So I am still waiting and I don't like it. They said they are not sure what went wrong or caused the breakage they just ordered a new axle and final drive(front diff assembly)complete. THIS SUCKS

Seeing as the front axles always turn, I was shocked they told you it was ok to drive. I am guessing they have not delt with many 05-06's.

I think they just wanted to avoid paying for the rental they should have provided. :rolleyes:

I hammer my Toyota with 35 tires on it and have yet to snap a half shaft. I cant believe an xterra with stock tires would break without something else givin up first. My weak spot is the diff

the next six months to a year will tell if this will be a pattern failure among off roaders.

what concerned me was not the broken cv shaft, but the facxt that the inboard spline stub busted off in the diff damaging it as well.

I am ready to declare this a pattern myself, and that stinks. Nothing should break with stock tires, that is really short sighted and pathetic. Montero guys run 35-37" tires on stock drivetrain with very little breakage, and only on the most extreme trails, and NEVER A FREAKIN DIFF EXPLODING!

So you throw 35s on and a stock CV cannot handle it...dissapointing but not the end of the world, and Nissan cannot engineer for everybody. Pull out a universal CV from the trunk, change it on the trail and be on your merry way. But explode a diff, and you are totally screwed, not to mention $$$$$$.

All I have to say is thank goodness for Xterra Racer, and hopefully the warranty period lasts until the new front parts come out.

This really is disappointing. When I was in high school I had a '91 Hardbody, man I till you what, nothing could break that truck. Well maybe if I drove it off a cliff. Almost did that once though, I was in the snow and slid off the road. My front bumper caught a small tree and stopped the truck from it's slide down the canyon. Broke the bumper mount but saved the truck. anyways yeah, I could jump that thing and not break anything in the drivetrain. Oh BTW I was running 32 x 11.50's on it.

I bet it wasn't your CV.

I bet it was the spline end and I bet that it's going to require a new diff.

Anyone with MT blown the Diff yet? Seems to be all AT trucks, unless that's just a coincidence!

Seeing as the front diff is identical, I just think it's a numbers thing.

There have not been all that many blown diffs and there are more autos and manuals.

Now member on another forum rasied a good question. Has all the blown diffs been 05 models? So far I have not found an 06 or 07 that has blown a diff. Maybe Nissan fixed something?

I think it's jsut more likely that the 05 crowd has been beating on their trucks a bit harder...though, my diff went out about 20K miles / 1 year ago.

I thought the MT's had slightly lower gearing. Is that TC gearing then?

I don't know what relationship you have with the dealer...but see if you can get them to let you look at the diff and see what actually broke.

In that photo it looks like the spline end snapped as you can see the side shaft sticking out. It also looks like you might have blows the CV as well, that boot looks oddly bent

They do have different gearing, but same diff.

I don't think the problems are the R&P. I could be wrong though.
