08 G35 sedan Rwd. U JOINT

I have searched and have come up with 0. Any of yall have any idea where I can get U joints for this car? I really don't want to replace a drive shaft for a simple u joint replacement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No idea but just curious why you are replacing it? Symptoms? Current Mileage?

I have a front u joint that has a dead spot in it both ways and I'm pretty certain that's what causing my drive line vibration at 60 and above. I've ran into this other times on other G's but I don't want to put a complete drive shaft in for 600$ lol. I know it's not tires or bent wheel. My road force numbers are in single didgets. No bent wheels. Rear diff is quite. No seized calipers or warped rotors. Oh has 79k on it

That's really the only thing that is left. Sadly the u joints aren't available through infiniti parts catalog. I know it's not the other things I mentioned before. I took the shaft out of it the other day and checked u joints. The front at the slide yoke has a loose spot in both directions. I was just hoping somebody would have any idea as to where I can get new joints at bc I can't find any places who sell them.

The reason you can't find a replacement is because the U-joints were not made to be repaired, only to have the DS replaced entirely. If you are convinced that the U-joint is bad, you can either 1) get a used DS from a salvage dealer, 2) get a new DS, or 3) take the whole DS to a shop that builds custom driveshafts and see if they can R&R the U-joint for you.

Bottom line is that it is not something that you can just swap out easily, even if you could find the part. It will take some custom modification to the DS.

I have 195k and mine is going strong too, I have been having braking vibration that happens on cold days but I am thinking its worn suspension parts.
