Per Rockauto you should be looking for Moog 354C:

or at Transmission; RWD; Aluminum Driveshaft Yoke
or Rear Driveshaft at Rear Axle; 4WD; Aluminum Driveshaft Yoke

Also, the cross for other brands is:

ACDELCO 45U0403 {#89049304}
SKF UJ270 (Greasable)
GMB 2191203 {#89049304}
DANA 5213X

why is when I look on rockauto and put my vehicle info in none of the ones you named show up ?

My bad, I listed for my 2005. Looks like the numbers are different for your year. Go with those!

Except it tells him the same pn he tried already sigh the caps too big...

There are two different size U-joints used in the R51 Pathfinders at the rear driveshaft: 1.062" (or 1.063") and 1.188" bearing caps. The larger caps are supposed to be the ones for a 2010 Pathfinder, but since they are too large, I'm suspecting that you may need the smaller U-joints, like those used in earlier models. Whether that's because the driveshaft was replaced at some point or just inconsistencies in the part catalogs, I don't know. I would get a Moog 354, for the steel yoke, or 354C, for the aluminum yoke. Here's how they compare:

Moog 232: 1.188" bearing cap; 3.625" length (end of cap to end of cap opposite side)

Moog 354/354C: 1.063" bearing cap; 3.620" length

FYI, the only difference between those joints for steel yokes vs. those for aluminum yokes is that those for the aluminum yokes are made to not corrode against the aluminum.

I just ended up going to my nissan dealership and order the u joints and they are the right size and no more vibration.thanks guys for the help .its weird that all the part stores even rock auto have the wrong size
