Drive shafts for Infiniti Q70
The Infiniti Q70 represents a sophisticated blend of luxury and performance, placing exceptionally high demands on every single component in the car's power delivery system. A drive shaft for Infiniti Q70 is not merely a solid metal bar; it is an advanced precision component engineered to cope with the massive torque delivered by the engine, while permitting full suspension travel and precise steering across varied driving conditions. At CVJoint24, you will find a carefully selected range of drive shafts specifically developed to meet or even exceed the strict original equipment specifications for your vehicle.
By focusing on engineering quality and material selection, we ensure your driving experience remains as vibration-free and secure as the manufacturer intended, whether you drive a rear-wheel-drive variant or the all-wheel-drive version of this elegant executive saloon. With the correct components, you preserve the car's original dynamics and avoid unnecessary wear on other parts of the drivetrain.
What does a drive shaft do on an Infiniti Q70?
The primary and most critical task of the drive shaft on an Infiniti Q70 is to transfer rotational energy efficiently from the gearbox or differential directly out to the road wheels. It is this component that actually moves the car forwards or backwards when you press the accelerator. Because the Q70 is often equipped with powerful engine options, the drive shafts endure considerable mechanical stress, especially under hard acceleration from a standstill or when driving on demanding road surfaces.
The drive shaft is an assembled unit consisting of the shaft bar itself along with inner and outer CV joints, which are shielded by flexible rubber CV boots filled with specialist grease. These joints are engineering marvels that allow the shaft to alter its operating angle and length as the wheels travel vertically over uneven road surfaces, as well as accommodating large steering angles on the front shafts of all-wheel-drive models. A well-functioning, properly balanced driveshaft is essential for maintaining the smooth, quiet and vibration-free ride that defines an Infiniti in prime condition.
Common signs of wear
Several clear warning signs indicate that a drive shaft on your Infiniti Q70 may need replacement. One of the most common symptoms is a clicking or knocking noise when making sharp turns at low speed, which usually points to wear in the outer CV joint. If you experience vibrations through the steering wheel or seat during acceleration, the inner CV joint is often the culprit, as it can no longer keep the shaft centred under load.
It is also crucial to inspect the CV boots regularly; if a boot splits, the lubricating grease escapes and dirt enters, rapidly ruining the finely machined bearing surfaces inside the joint. If you spot grease splattered on the inside of the wheel rim or wheel arch, act immediately to prevent a total failure that could leave you stranded by the roadside. Ignoring these signs can lead to consequential damage to both the gearbox and wheel bearings.
How to choose the correct drive shaft
Identifying and selecting the exact drive shaft for your Infiniti Q70 can seem daunting at first glance, particularly given the various engine variants and drivetrain configurations available. The most reliable way to guarantee the correct fitment is to select your car's make, model and engine in our vehicle lookup. By choosing your exact model details, our extensive catalogue is filtered automatically so you only see the parts that are 100% compatible with your specific car.
It is vital to verify whether you need to replace the left side (nearside in the UK) or the right side (offside), as these shafts are rarely identical in length. Furthermore, you must take into account whether the car is rear-wheel drive or equipped with all-wheel drive, as the shaft designs and mounting interfaces differ between these drivetrains. At CVJoint24, we help you get the right part first time, saving you both time and hassle during installation.
Related parts to check
Please also check these exact pages for the same car when working on the drive shaft:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, related parts on the same car often require inspection as well. Comparing these exact pages for Infiniti Q70 makes it easier to determine whether an issue lies with the drive shaft itself or with another adjacent part of the drivetrain.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and noises can transfer symptoms across multiple drivetrain parts. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the right type of part while overlooking a neighbouring component that contributes to the very same problem.
Replacing related wear parts whilst the drive shaft is removed often saves substantial time and money over the long term, as the labour to dismantle the suspension and brakes has already been carried out. Check wheel bearings and ABS rings as well to ensure the entire assembly operates as it should.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drive shafts for Infiniti Q70
How do I know if my Infiniti Q70 needs a new drive shaft?
The most common signs are clicking noises when cornering, vibrations during acceleration, or visible grease leaks from split CV boots.
Can I replace just the CV joint instead of the entire drive shaft?
Yes, in many cases you can replace only the inner or outer CV joint if the shaft itself is undamaged, which can often be a more cost-effective option.
Are the drive shafts on the Infiniti Q70 identical on the left and right sides?
No, they usually differ in length and sometimes in their fittings, so it is important to confirm which side is required before ordering.
How does the fitment guarantee work at CVJoint24?
When you select your car's correct make, model and engine variant, we guarantee that the part will fit. In the unlikely event that it does not, we will help you find the right component.
What is included when I purchase a complete drive shaft?
A complete drive shaft is normally supplied fully assembled with inner and outer CV joints, CV boots, grease, and necessary hardware such as nuts or bolts.
How quickly will my new drive shaft be delivered?
We offer dispatch for in-stock parts directly from our central warehouse, ensuring you get your Infiniti Q70 back on the road without delay.
