Will a 2000 frontier fron diff bolt up to 03 xterra?

[BeardedHombre]

Only reason im asking is because i have a friend that did a sas on his frontier and he wants to get rid of his ifs....here is the set up Calmini A Arms, Calmini heavy duty steering, Heavy duty knuckles, Warn Premium hubs, Calmini Torsion bars 300 mm. and a limited slip differential in the front end. Can i just bolt up the whole ifs???? thanks for the help!

Cheers!

Since it's mostly Calmini stuff, I'd go to their website and compare part numbers between the Frontier and Xterra.
I'd do the same with the Warn hubs.

Or you can call and ask them. I'm sure they've been asked this on everything they have and probably have a quick answer.

Yup, you can. As long as they are both 4x4.

yeah i already called calmin they said the front would work.....now the main question is the frontier diff working for the x

As long as the axle ratios are same between both trucks...........

Snowjunky,

Yes, everything will bolt right up. A couple things worth mentioning:

Check the gear ratio, make sure it's the same as yours. (oops, just noticed iggy said this)I have to say I realy don't think the LSD is worth the effort to swap out, but that is just me.
The steering, make sure to check it really good. It will most likely need to be rebuilt, which is not a bad thing. Bushings are what seems to fail on them.
Warn hubs, I will probably get flack for this, but don't get them. They are junk when it comes to the Nissan. Bolts are not sized right, thus causing the hub to "wiggle" back and forth until the bolts break off. Then it's a pain in the "you know what" to fix. Stick with your autos, they are far and away superior.
The UCA's, Calmini's are on of the best on the market IMHO. They just need one mod to be perfect. Add a Zert fitting to each side of each arm. If you search the Nissan boards you should be able to find several "How to's" If you don't, let me know. This will give you the ability to grease them regularly without pulling the arms off, and is a very simple mod.

Hope that helps
