Most constant velocity (CV) axles are pretty much the same. A driveshaft on each side of the transaxle, with a short one on the driver's side, and a longer one on the passenger side feeding into the front wheels. Each CV axle has two universal type joints at each end. Some are ball bearing type as on a VW or a cross type as found on many standard drive shafts used on rearwheel drives and four wheel drives. Each of the four joints should be hidden with a rubber boot to protect from contaminants. Dirt and sand are the worst.
To check a CV, place the vehicle securely on stands, and remove the front wheels. Hold the wheel hub and turn the shaft. No play should be felt. Repeat for the transaxle end. There will be play pulling towards the hub, and trans. this is not a problem. Broken boots and rattling upon cornering are a dead giveaway of CV problems.
Since you asked this question, I would recommend an accomplished dealer or mechanic if you suspect problems.
