A cv joint (also known as a constant-velocity joint) allows drive shafts to transmit power at varying angles. They do this without too much increase in friction.

Does a 2005 Chrysler sebring have an u joint?
No the axle shafts use CV joints.No the axle shafts use CV joints.
Is the cv joint the same as the differential on a Camry 96?
No, the CV joint is the "flex" part of the drive shafts. The differential is part of the transmission on a fwd car that allows the two axles to turn at different speeds when turning a corner.
What is the exact role of CV joint in a car?
Universal joints (as used on a conventional prop shafts used in rear wheel drive cars) cause the output end off the shaft to rotate at varying speeds, while the input end rotates at a constant speed, i.e. it speeds up and slows down at it rotates. Using a CV or 'Constant Velocity' joint eliminates this variation in speed. The use of moveable joints in drive shafts is the allow for suspension/steering movements.
What is it if my car makes a thumping grinding noise at higher speeds?
Rear wheel drive: Possibly a worn universal joint on the drive shaft. Front wheel drive: possibly worn CV joints on the front drive shafts.
Are struts the same thing as cv joints?
No, a Strut is basically a shock with a built on spring.A CV joint is the "flex" joint in a drive shaft.No, a Strut is basically a shock with a built on spring.A CV joint is the "flex" joint in a drive shaft.
What holds a CV shaft into the transmission on a 1993 Ford Probe 4-cylinder?
All CV shafts are held in by a retaining clip on the end of the inboard CV joint.

Three differences between a drive shaft and a prop shaft?
1) Drive-shafts are used on FWD but Prop-Shafts are used on RWD or 4WD. 2)A Drive-Shaft has final drive via a CV joint but a Prop-Shaft has final drive via a Differential. 3)A Drive-Shaft is smaller, lighter and saves space by not having a transmition tunnel.
How many cv joints does a 2007 Chrysler sebring 2.4 have?
It has two shafts that have an inner and outer joint each. That totals four CV joints.
How do you replace a cv joint on a 2000 Subaru Outback?
how do you replace the drivers side drive shaft and cv joint?
Are there 4 cv joints on a Camry?
Yes you have two drive axles that use 2 CV joints, both have an inner CV joint and an Outer CV joint
93 suburban 4x4 has a clicking noise when turning?
Souinds like a bad CV joint in one of the front axel shafts, If it clicks when turning hard right then it will be the right outer CV joint. If it clicks when turning to the left then it's the left outer CV joint.
