Will a 6th gen axle work on my 5.5 gen?
I need a new passenger axle for my 02 6spd.
It appears I don't have too many options available to me, almost all the stores I went to didn't have the ability to get one, the others are a 3-5 days wait but I need the car for a trip this weekend.
So I'm wondering if I would be able to use the passenger axle of an 04-06 6spd maxima on my 02. I haven't called any stores yet but since it's newer there may be some available for me to get today, instead of having to wait.
If anyone has any insight on this, that would be great.

I don't think so, it might work at the transmission side, but I think there will be a different bracket because it is on a different chassis, and the front hub side will be wrong due to different hub and different bearing.

6th gen axles?
i thought you could run the automatic 6th gen axle as long as you also ran the carrier bearing bracket from the 6th gen. I’d look around for more info before trying it. Unless you have stuff laying around.

I'm not sure how much easier the 6th gen axles are to find but it definitely opens up possibilities. The carrier bearing is easy to swap.

Interesting... I'm not sure I even see the difference between 7th gen axles and mine, and I'm staring at mine on the floor comparing the two:

I need to find schematics/diagrams. I'll pick up a set of low mile 7th gen OEM axles in a heart beat if they are compatible,
Disregard, just noticed the gear on the outer joint. Isn't that for ABS or something?
