Axle Set - Nissan Frontier to Titan Conv - 17.50" OAL
The SKU 2313 is a heavy-duty drivetrain solution designed for high-stress Nissan applications. Whether used for off-road racing, drifting, or high-torque street builds, these axles are engineered to replace the common "weak points" found in factory components. By utilizing race-grade 4340 alloy steel and a "shoulderless" spline design, they provide the resilience needed to prevent mid-shaft snapping and spline shearing.
Performance & Fitment
Application: High-Performance Nissan Replacement Axle Set
- Differential Check: This specific 17.50" shaft length maps to a Titan swap retaining the factory mid-size R180 front differential. If the vehicle has been upgraded to a full-size Titan M205 front differential, a different axle shaft length is required.
- Year Shift Note: For newer model years (2020–2021 and 2022+ newer-generation Frontiers), Nissan updated the engine, transmission, and internal drivetrain geometries, meaning a different updated version of the extended swap axle must be selected to clear the inner CV joints properly.
| Make | Model | Production Years | Platform Generation | Required Front Differential |
| Nissan | Frontier | 2005 – 2019 | D40 Generation | Factory R180 Only |
| Nissan | Xterra | 2005 – 2015 | N40 Generation | Factory R180 Only |
| Nissan | Pathfinder | 2005 – 2012 | R51 Generation (V6 Models) | Factory R180 Only |
Material: 4340 Chromoly Alloy Steel
Drivetrain Upgrade: Engineered specifically for modified Nissans where increased wheel travel or higher horsepower has pushed the factory drivetrain to its failure point.
Extended Spline Design: The longer spline section allows the CV joint to "float" or slide along the shaft. This is crucial for maintaining engagement during extreme suspension compression or extension, preventing the CV cage from shattering.
Maximized End Diameters: By increasing the diameter at the ends of the shaft, these axles eliminate the "neck-down" areas found on OEM parts, distributing stress more evenly across the entire length of the bar.
Premium Construction
Material Strength: Forged from solid 4340 alloy steel, offering a significantly higher yield strength than standard automotive steel. This allows the axle to act like a torsion bar, absorbing shock loads rather than snapping.
Heat Treatment: Through-hardened to achieve the perfect balance of surface durability and torsional flexibility.
Centerless Ground: Every axle is ground to a precision diameter to ensure perfectly uniform strength and a smooth finish that resists stress fractures.
Corrosion Resistance: Finished with a durable powder coating to protect against road salt, mud, and moisture.
⚠️ Technical Installation Notes
CV Compatibility: These axles are designed to interface with high-performance 33 or 36-spline CV joints (depending on the specific Nissan sub-model). Always verify your spline count on the inner and outer CV "stars" before assembly.
Lubrication: Use a high-molybdenum (moly) grease on the splines. Because the extended spline design allows for movement, consistent lubrication is vital to prevent the splines from "notching" or galling over time.
Snap Rings: Ensure that high-quality snap rings are used to retain the CV joints. While the joint is allowed to float on the spline, it must remain within its functional range on the shaft.
