I have a y32 4WD Cima and the front outer axle boots were ripped when I got the car I decided to re boot them which was a job and a half but a few months later the inner boot split. Ive had a vibration in the front end and Im thinking the axles are cooked its not worth the effort of putting inner boots on. On the Nengun website OE front cv axles are $820 a piece! And they would take months to ship. I want to know if this cima shares front axles with some other domestic fwd or awd nissan or Infiniti. If not im out $1640

:welcome: to NICO! Sadly, we didn't have a AWD version of the Q45 in the US, and most of our members are here - so the pool of people who would know is relatively small. I know some of our members have successfully ordered from https://www.amayama.com/en if you want to check them for pricing.

Look online for people who rebuild cv axles. Use chassis ears to find the noise/vibration. A clicking sound is usually a bad cv joint.

theres no clicking not even at full lock. Its only on the highway above 60mph it almost feeling like a wheel bearing but if it was it would be making a noise all the time

thank you for the feedback I checked the website and it does come out cheaper but not by a whole lot. The price of the axles went down from 820 to 765 on the nengun website maybe theyll just keep going down lol heres to hoping
