To replace the CV joint on a 1996 Nissan Primera, start by lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheel. Next, detach the axle nut and remove any components blocking access to the CV joint, such as the brake caliper and rotor. Use a pry bar to disconnect the CV joint from the transmission, and then replace the old joint with a new one, ensuring all components are reassembled securely. Finally, refill any lost transmission fluid and test drive the vehicle to ensure proper installation.
$700-$1200
The rear universal joint on a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder should be replaced when it becomes worn out or broken. Symptoms of a worn joint include rough handling and suspension issues.

The 1998 Nissan Ultima control arm is held in place by a retaining nut on both ends of the arm. The ball joint can be removed by using a hammer or mallet.
Define scrubbing please. If it's what I'm thinking it could be the CV joint in a front axle going bad.
