Infiniti FX35 and G35x AWD Front Driveshaft 938-320

This is the front propeller shaft that runs from the transfer case to the front differential on all-wheel-drive Infiniti models. It replaces Nissan/Infiniti 37200-CL70A and cross-references to Dorman 938-320.

Listed fitment, AWD only: 2008-2010 EX35 3.5L, 2003-2012 FX35 3.5L, 2003-2008 FX45 4.5L, 2004-2008 G35 sedan 3.5L (G35x), 2006-2010 M35 3.5L (M35x), and 2008-2010 M45 4.5L (M45x). Rear-wheel-drive versions of these cars do not have a front shaft. The shaft is 36.2 inches long with a 1.65 inch steel tube and 0.083 inch wall.

On these cars the front shaft runs right next to the oil pan and exhaust, and the joint boots dry out and split. Once the grease is gone the joints start to click, and you get a clunk on take-off or a vibration that comes and goes with throttle. Grease thrown on the oil pan and crossmember is a common sign that a boot has torn.

Bench notes: the shaft comes balanced as an assembly. Mark the flanges before removal, support the shaft as the last bolts come out, and check the front differential input seal and the transfer case output seal while the shaft is out.
