Spare parts and drivetrain components for Nissan Almera I Hatchback.
The drivetrain for your Nissan Almera I Hatchback is a fundamental part of the car's mechanical health. Launched to provide reliable everyday transport, the Almera I (N15) has proven to be a robust design, but the test of time and many kilometres on the road mean that power transmission components will eventually need replacing. The drivetrain encompasses everything from the gearbox output to the wheel hubs, and its primary task is to transfer engine torque smoothly and without vibration. At CVJoint24, you will find a dedicated range tailored specifically to this car model. We understand the importance of using parts with an exact fit to prevent unnecessary wear on surrounding components such as wheel bearings and gearbox seals. By investing in the correct parts, you extend your car's service life considerably.
The drivetrain layout on a Nissan Almera I Hatchback follows the traditional configuration for front-wheel-drive cars with a transverse engine. Power travels from the gearbox via two drive shafts to the wheel hubs. Each drive shaft is equipped with an inner and an outer CV joint. The outer constant velocity joint is under particular stress, as it must accommodate both suspension movement and steering angles. Additionally, many models feature ABS rings mounted on the outer joints to feed vital rotational data to the braking system. Understanding this design is key to diagnosing issues early. The drive shafts serve as the direct link between engine output and the road surface, and every component in this chain must operate flawlessly to avoid vibrations and unwanted noises while driving.
There are several distinct signs that the drivetrain on your Nissan Almera I Hatchback is becoming worn. One of the most typical symptoms is a clicking or knocking noise when turning sharply, which usually indicates a defective outer CV joint on your Nissan Almera I Hatchback. If you notice vibrations through the steering wheel under acceleration, a worn inner joint could be to blame instead. Another frequent issue is an illuminated ABS warning light, often caused by a cracked or corroded ABS ring on your Nissan Almera I Hatchback sending faulty signals to the control unit. You should also inspect the CV boots regularly; a split boot allows dirt and moisture in, which rapidly ruins the joint's internal mechanism and causes total failure if left unaddressed.
For the Nissan Almera I Hatchback, two main categories of parts frequently require replacement due to harsh European winters and normal wear and tear. We currently stock a deep selection for this model, including 4 different outer CV joint variants and 2 types of ABS rings. Here are the most relevant categories for your vehicle:
By replacing these components in good time, you prevent costly secondary damage to the gearbox and suspension whilst preserving the car's safety characteristics.

On a vehicle with multiple potential driveline issues, it pays to start in the correct category right away. By comparing specific component areas for the Nissan Almera I Hatchback, it becomes easier to tell whether you have a fault in a drive shaft, CV joint or propeller shaft, and then move on to the page that best matches your symptoms and fitment.
Selecting the right spare part for an older model can sometimes be tricky, as technical specifications often vary by engine variant and year of manufacture. To ensure you purchase with total confidence, select your specific Nissan Almera I Hatchback make, model and engine from our vehicle selector. This will filter out any unsuitable options and show only technically compatible car parts. It is always best to check key measurements, such as the spline count on the CV joint and the tooth count on the ABS ring, as these can differ across production runs. Our catalogue is built to give you the right answer immediately, but if you have any doubts, compare the dimensions of your old part with our product details to guarantee an exact fit during installation.

The most common symptom is a clicking or knocking noise when cornering on full lock. If the noise disappears when driving straight ahead, it is almost certainly a worn outer CV joint.
Yes, on many Nissan Almera I Hatchback models the ABS ring can be replaced separately if it has cracked or corroded, provided that the CV joint itself is still in good condition.
A very common cause on this model is a cracked ABS ring. Rust builds up beneath the ring and expands it until it snaps, preventing the sensor from accurately reading wheel rotation.
Our kits normally include the CV joint itself, a new CV boot, grease, securing clips and, where applicable, a new centre bolt or hub nut to ensure a complete and reliable installation.
The most reliable method is to filter by your car's exact make, model and engine variant. If multiple options are listed for your vehicle, we recommend counting the splines on your existing part before ordering.
It requires some mechanical know-how and the right tools, such as pullers and a torque wrench. However, for a confident DIY mechanic, it is a perfectly manageable job.
