Driveshaft CV Joint
What is a Driveshaft CV Joint?
A driveshaft CV (Constant Velocity) joint is a crucial component in a vehicle's drivetrain that allows for smooth power transmission between the transmission and the wheels, especially in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive systems. The CV joint is located on both ends of the driveshaft, connecting it to the transmission at one end and the wheels at the other.
The CV joint is designed to accommodate changes in the driveshaft's angle as the vehicle's suspension moves and as the wheels steer. It allows the shaft to rotate at a constant speed while transmitting power efficiently, even when the angle between the shaft and the wheel changes.
