Constant Velocity, or CV joints are used in front wheel drive cars to transmit power to the front wheels while allowing them to steer. As they begin to wear out, first you will notice clunking or rattling when shifting between reverse and drive. Later, you may notice vibration or grinding when turning. Eventually, the joint will completely fail, and the car will not move when placed in any gear.
