How many splines must a front hub locker have for a 93 Pathfinder?

I need to buy new lockers for my 93 pathfinder and I’ve made some research but some online stores offer me locker with 27 splines and other stores with 28, so I’m not really sure wich should I get

Hey there! I’m so glad to be able to help you with your Pathfinder! I have one too, and I love it. They are amazing. Good thing for you, I know plenty about them.

Ok, so your issue. Here’s how it is. You want to buy new locking hubs? I think that’s what you mean. I assume you are buying Warn? It’s a good brand, but a little pricey. You might want to look into Nissan OEM hubs. They are the strongest ever made for the Pathfinder.

Anyway, I don’t know what you know, but I’m going to tell you anyway. The "spline count" is the number of ridges on your CV axles. Nissan 720 trucks (1980-1986) had 26 spline. Nissan Pathfinders (1987-1990) had 27 spline, and Nissan Pathfinders (1990-1995) have 28 spline. Yours has 28 Spline.

There is a very small chance you have 27 spline. The 27 spline and 28 spline axles are interchangeable, so it’s possible but VERY unlikely that you may have replacement axles that are 27 spline. This is like a .05% change though haha.

So go ahead and buy your 28 spline ones and you will be a happy camper.
Two months ago, I didn’t know anything about my Nissan. Now I’m nearly an expert! It’s all because of http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/
