Yeah, I know I should call the dealer or check my paperwork but, I don’t trust the dealer and I have moved twice since we bought the vehicle so finding the paperwork will not be easy. Plus I am at work and it is bugging me. 😛 This is just a simple question that a mechanic may know the general answer to. Are u-joints generally covered under warranty? The reason I ask is because my local shop can’t buy u-joints for an XTERRA, he has to buy the entire driveshaft from the dealer for 502.98. Thanks for any help. ---

nope, thats why they call it a Limited powertrain warranty. I would consult a dealer just in case though. ---

You could bring the joint into napa and they could match it up, or if they can’t help you I would try fleetpride on walden. ---

I thought maybe the u-joint wouldn’t be covered but since it is “attached” to the shaft I am thinking it may be. I don’t know. This sucks, u-joints are like $30, I don’t want to spend $500! I guess I will call the Stealership.:mad: ---

Drifter…joints for the rear shaft have the part# 37126-EA026. They run $45 each, OEM. And from my experience, they’re typically not covered under a drivetrain warranty, but it depends on the company. ---

I just took that number next door to the shop and they called Mike Barney and they said no problem. WTF? Why were they trying to sell an entire shaft earlier today? I HATE DEALERS! Edit:Napa has one that crosses over to a Ford number.lol ---

nissan service depts are very pushy. I had an argument with them about the Z today. Apparently a rear axle is not part of the drivetrain. I won the battle, but it is BS that if I was a clueless person, they would have just f’d me over on it instead of putting in a warranty claim.
