Nissan Navara CV Joints Replacement Parts

Yes, all Nissan Navara variants sold in the UK have CV joints, as the Navara is a four-wheel-drive or part-time four-wheel-drive pickup and uses CV joints on the front axle driveshafts to transfer drive while allowing suspension movement. Rear-wheel-drive-only configurations are not a feature of UK-market Navarас, so front CV joints are present across the range. If you are looking at a specific axle position or have an unusual import specification, confirm the drivetrain layout with the breaker against your registration.

The D22 and D40 are entirely different generations with different front subframe, hub, and driveshaft designs, so their CV joints are not interchangeable. The D40 replaced the D22 in the UK from around 2005 and brought a redesigned front suspension and drivetrain. Always source CV joints that match your specific generation — confirm the generation with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The D40 ran from 2005 to around 2015, with a facelift arriving around 2010 that brought cosmetic and some mechanical updates. The front driveshaft and CV joint architecture is generally understood to be shared across the D40 generation, but whether a specific pre-facelift CV joint crosses the facelift boundary without issue is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. Quoting your registration number to the breaker is the safest way to verify exact compatibility.

On the Navara, the front CV joints are primarily determined by the generation and drivetrain rather than engine size, as the driveshaft and hub design tends to be consistent within a generation regardless of whether you have the 2.5 dCi or another engine variant. However, if your vehicle has a factory differential or axle specification that differs from the standard UK model, this could affect fitment, so it is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration. In most cases, generation and axle position (nearside or offside) are the key details to provide.

Trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the D40 Navara — the front driveshaft and CV joint design is determined by the generation and drivetrain, not by whether the vehicle is an Acenta, Tekna, or Trek. You may find cosmetic differences between trim levels but these have no bearing on the running gear. Confirm the nearside or offside position you need and quote your registration to the breaker for accuracy.

The NP300 Navara, which arrived in the UK from around 2016, is a different generation to the D40 and features a revised front suspension setup, meaning its CV joints are not the same as those on the D40. The NP300 brought an independent rear suspension design alongside updated front driveshaft components, so parts from the two generations should not be assumed to interchange. Always confirm your generation and registration with the breaker before purchasing.
