Nissan 300ZX axle assemblies allow your wheels to turn. If they fail, your wheels won’t spin, and the while process will come to a grinding halt. Fortunately, the axle assemblies are finely engineered and use proven technology, and when they do fail, it tends to be a gradual loss of function, although catastrophic failure can rarely happen.

The Nissan 300ZX axle assembly is a complete system of bearing and boots, shafts and lubricants. It must be regularly inspected and maintained.

If the bearings are the heart of an axle’s function, than lubricant is its lifeblood, and maintaining the health of the lubricant is absolutely critical. The bearings and races of the axle allow it to spin.

Because the ball bearing will move rotate millions upon millions of times, they must be allowed to move with as little friction as possible. The lubricant makes this possible, and failure of the lubricant is usually the cause of axle assembly failure. In the Nissan 300ZX, axle assemblies are protected by rubber boots that hold the lubricant in place. While the material of the boots is durable, they are vulnerable to tears and cuts. They should be inspected regularly, and if they appear damaged, odds are that the lubricant has already begun to leak out. You can replace the boots and repack the bearings with lubricant, but because you must remove the entire axle assembly to do so, it makes sense to simply replace it, and start with a new set of bearings and professionally packed lubricants.If you find torn boots, or you have reason to suspect your bearings are in failure, you can order a new Nissan 300ZX axle assembly from our online catalogue and have it shipped right to your door.
