Product Overview

The universal joint, OEM number 37126-01G25, is the propshaft (driveshaft) U-joint fitted to a range of classic Nissan pickup and SUV models, including the D21 Hardbody and WD21 Pathfinder, across 2.4L, 2.5L, and 2.7L engine variants including the Z24i, TD27, TD25, and KA24DE, spanning production from the mid-1980s through the early 2000s. Since this joint covers multiple Nissan chassis codes across nearly two decades, it's a steady part to stock for anyone servicing these classic Nissan trucks and SUVs.

Worn or failing units typically show up as a clunking or knocking noise when shifting between drive and reverse, vibration that increases with vehicle speed, or a squeaking noise during slow turns or when driving over bumps. GSK Auto manufactures this U-joint to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

(Confirm against your VIN or chassis code before ordering - this joint spans multiple Nissan chassis codes and engine variants across nearly two decades of production, so it's worth double-checking the exact model, engine, and production year before ordering at volume.)

What Is a U-Joint?

Function: The universal joint (U-joint) connects sections of the driveshaft, allowing it to transmit rotational power at an angle as the driveshaft's position changes slightly with suspension movement and drivetrain flex.

Working Principle: The U-joint consists of a cross-shaped spider with needle bearings at each end, connecting two yokes at an angle, allowing torque to be transmitted smoothly between the transmission and the rear differential even as the angle between them changes during normal driving.

Importance: A worn U-joint allows excess play in the driveshaft's rotation, which can cause vibration, noise, and in severe cases, complete driveshaft failure if the joint seizes or breaks apart while driving.

Common Failures & Signs: Needle bearing wear inside the joint causing looseness and play. Clunking or knocking noise when shifting between drive and reverse. Vibration that increases with vehicle speed, indicating an out-of-balance or worn joint. Squeaking noise during slow turns or when driving over bumps, often from a lack of lubrication.
