A CV joint, or constant velocity joint, is a type of mechanical joint that is used in vehicles to allow for smooth and constant rotation of the drive shaft while accommodating changes in angle and position. CV joints are commonly found in front-wheel drive vehicles and are essential components for transferring power from the transmission to the wheels. They are designed to withstand high torque and provide flexibility in steering and suspension systems. CV joints are typically made of durable steel and are protected by rubber boots to prevent contamination and maintain lubrication.
