Yes you have two drive axles that use 2 CV joints, both have an inner CV joint and an Outer CV joint
Yes
( yes ) a Ford Windstar is a front wheel drive vehicle and has constant velocity ( CV ) joints
How long a CV joint lasts is directly proportionate with how you drive your car. If you corner hard and accelerate hard, your CV joints won't last as long as the CV joints in a car that has been driven in a more conservative manor.
A Constant Velocity Joints or CV joints are attached to each end of a drive shaft The CV joints are needed to transfer the torque at a constant speed to steered wheels as well as to accommodate up and down motions of the suspension
It CAN be CV joints, but it depends on the sound.
Bad CV joints. Replace the CV joints.
its either the the left or right drive axle. when the cv joints get worn or dry the click around corners due to the cv joint hinging and moving more during turns. when driving straight the cv joints dont move alot. in a front wheel drive vechicle the front tires need to drive you forward, but they also have to turn, so the driveshafts / axles need 2 cv joints per axle. change your bad axle and you will be noiseless
A chevy 3500 truck is not front wheel drive, so it does not have CV joints.
Keeps grease in, dirt and water out.
Coming from the drive wheels? Could be worn CV joints
Ball joints are in the front suspension, it is basically what the wheel assembly pivots on when you turn. Universal joints are on the ends of the drive shaft in a rear wheel drive vehicle. At the transmission and rear end. They give the drive line some flexibility. The same principal is in front wheel drive but are referred to as constant velocity joints, or CV joints.
