Howdy! This is the first bit of work I've had to do on this car, and I'm in need of some consult. I have a 2WD 2007 Pathfinder that has a front hub that needs replacing. I ordered one off the interwebs and received the DL515065 (4WD) instead of the DL515064 (2WD) assembly. Can I put the 4WD hub on a 2WD vehicle without any issues? I called the local autozone and got some guesses as to the answer, but nothing very solid or reliably helpful.

Well I don't see how it would work, if you google up images of the two hubs they are quite different, the 4wd hub has splines and the 2wd does not have splines...

If it fits, then in theory it should be driveable... you would just have a 4wd hub with no axle... if it fits.
The next question would be, would ABS still be functional, no ABS lights??
