Fitment questions
Do Nissan Cabstar CV joints exist, or is it a different type of driveshaft setup?
The Nissan Cabstar is a rear-wheel-drive light commercial truck, which means it uses a conventional propshaft and solid rear axle rather than CV joints in the way a front-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicle would. CV joints as a standalone replaceable part are not a standard fitment on the Cabstar's drivetrain. If you are hearing a clicking or knocking noise, you may actually be looking for universal joints (UJs) on the propshaft, or wheel bearing components - confirm exactly what your mechanic has identified before contacting a breaker.
I've been told I need a CV joint on my Nissan Cabstar - could the garage mean something else?
It is quite possible there has been a terminology mix-up, as the Cabstar's rear-wheel-drive layout does not use CV joints in the traditional sense. What your garage may be referring to is a propshaft universal joint (UJ), a rear axle component, or possibly a steering column joint, all of which are found on the Cabstar. Describe the exact location and symptom to your breaker so they can identify the correct part against your registration.
What parts should I actually be searching for instead of CV joints on a Nissan Cabstar?
Depending on where the problem is, the parts most likely to be confused with a CV joint on the Cabstar are propshaft UJs (universal joints), halfshaft components if a 4WD variant is involved, or steering column intermediate shaft joints. The Cabstar was available in some markets with 4WD, so if you have a 4WD Cabstar, front CV joints may genuinely be present - check your vehicle's specification and confirm with the breaker against your registration. For the far more common rear-wheel-drive Cabstar, propshaft UJs are the closest equivalent part to ask for.
Does the payload or GVW rating of my Cabstar affect which driveline parts I need?
Yes, GVW and payload rating do influence the propshaft and axle specifications on the Cabstar, as heavier-rated trucks use more robust running gear. If you are sourcing propshaft UJs or axle components as an alternative to the CV joints you originally searched for, give your breaker the GVW rating from your vehicle's plate rather than just the model name, as the same generation Cabstar came in different weight classes. Never assume a part from a lighter-rated Cabstar will suit a heavier one, even if the trucks look identical from the outside.
Could a 4WD Nissan Cabstar actually have CV joints fitted?
Yes, if your Cabstar is a 4WD variant then front CV joints are a genuine fitment, used to drive the front wheels while allowing steering movement. However, the vast majority of Cabstars sold in the UK were rear-wheel-drive only, so 4WD examples are uncommon here. If you do have a 4WD Cabstar, confirm the exact variant and generation with your breaker against your registration to ensure the correct CV joint is sourced, as specifications can differ.
