This video shows you how to install new Front CV Axle Assembly in your 2004-2015 Nissan Titan. A CV axle has flexible joints. Often, these joints wear out, or seize from contaminants due to the protective boot tearing open. A worn joint is prone to breakage, or other hazards. If your vehicle needs a new CV axle, install a quality TRQ axle that is engineered to your vehicle’s specifications.

This repair was done on a 2004 Nissan Titan SE 5.6L Crew Cab Pickup 4-Door 4WD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2004 Nissan Titan
2005 Nissan Titan
2006 Nissan Titan

2008 Nissan Titan
2009 Nissan Titan

Solid vid! Blew my cv shaft 11kms up a forestry road on snow pack. Slid off road and snap, a week of digging and a little help out and now time to fix the damage. Feeling confident about doing the fix now!

This guy went the extra extra long way in doing this..
Just unbolt from diff and wheel bearing and remove rubber control arm bumb stoppers and you can work it out and the new one in fairly easily!🤙🤙,

I don’t have the tools to get this done but having seen this I can definitely tell the shop that’s going to do the work that it’s less than a 2 hour job!! Lol. Great video.

Do you have a video showing how to replace the seal on the differential passenger side? How would you suggest pulling the front diff flange to replace the seal? Thank you.

[Noxious]

Can you guys do this video for the 2016-2024 Titans? There are many differences. Thank you!

Shows you a great example of reality when youve already replaced the hub assembly lol

Excellent video. Thanks so much for posting this. Subscribed.. By the way - exact same color Titan as my 2007 - paint code A15?

When I tighten the bolts on the differential I was able to pull it out a little bit and it leaked a little bit of oil is that normal ? After it pulled out I pushed it back in and the leaked stopped..!

I was able to do it without lowering sway bar.

Way too much work you can replace the cv by just removing the strut and popping the top ball joint. Don't need to remove any abs wire endlink or tierod

[latinpaver]

I need watch 3 more time to feel ready to do it😅

[avguytx]

Holy cow... That rust would scare me to death.

[GregsAutomotive]

Its ok to reuse the cater pin. They do not wear….
