CV joint - Constant Velocity Joint

A CV (Constant Velocity) or a homokinetic joint is a type of universal joint, designed to transmit power from a rotating shaft to a wheel through a variable angle but with a constant rotational speed. They are usually used between the front half-shafts and front wheels in a front or four-wheel drive vehicle. Some rear-wheel drive cars with independent rear suspension also use CV joints at the end of the axle half-shafts.
