CV stands for constant velocity joint. Like anything else mechanical, it fails with wear. It has balls and a cage inside it. It will pop and have slack in it. The boot can also fail, leaking the grease out of it and causing it to fail quicker. If it fails completely, the car will not pull and it can cause massive damage.
