Fitment questions

Does the Nissan Pulsar have a propshaft?

No — the Nissan Pulsar (2014–2018), sold in the UK, is a front-wheel-drive only car and was never offered in a four-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive variant, so it has no propshaft at all. A propshaft is only needed to transfer drive to a rear or additional axle, which this model simply does not have. If you're hearing a knocking or vibration from underneath, the part you're most likely after is a driveshaft (also called a CV shaft or half-shaft), which connects the front-wheel-drive gearbox to the front wheels.

I've been quoted a propshaft for my Nissan Pulsar — is that right?

Almost certainly not — the Nissan Pulsar is front-wheel-drive only and does not have a propshaft in any of its UK variants, regardless of engine size or trim level. It's possible there has been a mix-up in the parts description, and what you actually need is a driveshaft (the front axle shaft running from the gearbox to either front wheel). Mention the specific symptom or location of the problem to your breaker and ask them to confirm the correct part against your registration number.

Could a Nissan Pulsar Acenta, N-Connecta or Tekna have a propshaft fitted as standard?

No — none of the UK Pulsar trim levels, including Acenta, N-Connecta, or Tekna, were offered with four-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, so none of them have a propshaft. Trim level makes no difference here because the drivetrain layout was the same across the entire range. If you're unsure exactly which driveshaft or other running gear component you need, give your registration to the breaker and they can identify the correct part.

What part should I actually be looking for instead of a propshaft on my Nissan Pulsar?

For a front-wheel-drive car like the Pulsar, the rotating shafts that carry drive from the gearbox to the front wheels are called driveshafts (or CV shafts), and there is one on each side — nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side). Common symptoms that get confused with propshaft problems — such as clunking on acceleration or vibration at speed — are usually traced to a worn driveshaft or CV joint on a front-wheel-drive car. Let your breaker know which side is affected and confirm the part against your registration to make sure you get the right shaft for your engine and gearbox combination.
