Constant Velocity Joints

Constant Velocity (CV) joints are mechanical components in a vehicle’s drivetrain that allow the wheels to turn and move up and down while maintaining a steady, smooth transfer of power from the engine. They enable the wheels to receive consistent torque during steering and suspension movements, ensuring a quiet and stable ride. CV joints are especially common in front-wheel-drive cars, helping the wheels rotate at a constant speed regardless of the angle, which prevents vibrations and uneven tire wear. Essentially, they keep power flowing smoothly to the wheels, even as they move through different positions.
