Replacement Tailshaft Needed! HELP Please!!!

Hi all,

This is my first post. I tried the search but there was nothing on he replacement tailshaft so I need help, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Navara D40 2010

Tailshaft has split in 2 pieces while 4WD-ing. I couldn't find any online. Did anyone go through this??? Ho much is a replacement or is iit better/cheaper to get a custom made one from a local shop???

Does anyone know what the part number is or any online store from the US?

Or even specifications if it is to be made custom, such as exact length, etc.

Does it have a centre bearing and is that where it is broken. If you need another ring Niss 4x4 in Williamstown Victoria. He will freight Australia wide. Mention me and the forum

No, it's the round aluminium or alloy piece approx 1200mm long and it's broken half way. There's a foot long shaft that slides into the transfer case and is connected to the tailshaft with uni joints. I assume they both either come as one part together or separate so the uni's get pulled apart and connected to the new piece???

Ring Niss4x4.

The guy from Melbourne wants $2000 + delivery.

Nissan wants $1700 for a brand new one.

I got a custom one to be made for $385.

It's a no brainer .

$2000.00 for a tail shaft. Your fucking kidding me aren't you

Try southern 4x4 in campbelfield Melbourne. They are closing down

$2000.... obviously the wrecker was going to nick around to nissan $1700 for shaft $20 to wrap it. $50 delivery, pick up some beer and flowers for the missus on the way home from the wrecking yard with the extra$$$........ Priceless. there wright up there with used car salesmen.

most guys on the us forums have had steel replacement shafts made when ever they have busted one, dont go with the alloy again

i had "HARDY SPICER" make me a new one out of steel and a the next gauge up in wall thickness for $330 after i landed on then spun it on a rock in a river crossing which put a spiral dent in it, causing the ute to shake at 100kph.

Oh they did say not to go to thick in the wall thickness because that can affect performance and add a little strain to other components. thats why i only went a little thicker then the stock one.

Mine was built dec2010 and came with a steel tailshaft but i did get told that some have ally ones????? not sure why.........

The alloy one also got damaged in the creek. Hit the rock and put a swirl on it, then whattaya know, couldn't even get out of the creek, it snapped where the swirl was from pressure. Anyway, the custom one's in already. At $385, can't complain. Surely better than $1700 or $2000+$50 delivery.

More Ammo for us D22 drivers.

Thank you.
