Im new to the pathfinder world. But I'm loving it so far.

Recently I found out my u-joints maybe bad how many are there and what are the part numbers? any brand preferably?

My symptoms are between 40-65 mph it shudders. but above 80 it's almost fine.

Thanks guys

There are two U-joints on a 2WD model. If you want Nissan U-joints, the part # is 37126-EA027.

For aftermarket, there are listings for steel or aluminum driveshaft yokes, so you'll have to check for what you have:

Aluminum yoke type: Moog #354C
Steel yoke type: Moog #270 (greasable), 354 (Premium), or 254 (non-greasable, super strength).

The funny thing is, Nissan only calls for one part # and doesn't specify aluminum or steel. Both joints are the same size. I believe the aluminum spec. aftermarket joints have better corrosion resistance towards the aluminum yoke.
