How do you check if CV joint is in need of change?
3 yes no decisions:
1st Test drive, Does the joint click and rattle when accelerating in a turn. Yes a joint or multiple joints are bad.
2nd Visual external inspection: If the boot keeping the grease in and dirt out is split or damaged and you are unsure how long its been that way, change the joint. If you are sure that it has been a short time and it passes the first test. Replace the boot.
3rd Manipulate the joint by hand, if it has movement you can feel it is suspect, if clunks or makes noise when you shake the shaft, it needs replacing.
Most inner CV joints are whats called a tripod joint. There should be no play in it at all if the inner housing is held tight and the shaft rotated back & forth while holding it straight out from the inner joint. If there is then you need to remove the boot clamp on the larger end and take the shaft apart to inspect for wear & damage. The best thing to do as if there is play in it is to replace the shaft with a rebuild, usually about $75.00 and solve the problem without getting too far into it. You don't have the equipment to rebuild it yourself as the channels where the rollers ride will probably be worn as well as the needle bearings in the rollers so why bother.

How do you write objective for cv?
To write an effective objective for your CV, start by clearly stating the position you are applying for and your career goals. Tailor it to highlight relevant skills and experiences that align with the job description. Keep it concise, ideally one to two sentences, and ensure it reflects your enthusiasm for the role and the value you can bring to the company.
Will a bad cv joint cause a car not to move?
Yes, it sure can, but the joint would probably have been been making quite a bit of noise in the weeks leading up to this. Normally, they first show themselves in parking lots when making a full-lock turn under light acceleration. You'll be able to hear a light, rhythmic clicking sound from under the hood, usually about three clicks per one wheel revolution.
The CV joints carry both ends of the half-shaft, which is analogous to a drive shaft in a rear-wheel drive car. Consequently, if either end goes bad, you're not going to move. By their design, the half-shaft won't fall out on the ground when this happens, so a quick visual check isn't good enough.
Lock on the parking brake, put the transmission in neutral, and either reach down through the hood or crawl underneath the car. Grab the half-shaft in the middle, and give it a good up-and-down shake. There should be very little relative movement. I'm guessing one of yours will flop around pretty well.
Assuming you do have a bad joint, I'd highly recommend changing both shafts, since they've been in there the same number of miles and carrying the same loads.

What would happen if you kept driving on a bad cv joint?
The joint would eventually break possibly with disasterous results for your own safety get it replaced as soon as possible.
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

Is it not good to drive long distance with a busted cv joint on your passenger side of car?
Actually it is impossible to drive with a "busted" CV joint. The half shaft is comprised of a shaft and two CV joints at each end. There are 3 different kind of cv joints, but that's besides the point. The half shaft transfers power from the tranaxle to the wheels. If one goes, the car don't. You probably mean cv boot. The boot is what protects the cv joint from dirt and moisture etc. I have seen a cv joint fail anywhere from a month to a year and a half after seeing a torn boot. It is a gamble to drive like this. The centrifical force of the axle spinning flings the grease out of the joint. The joint goes dry, metal on metal action happens and it self destructs.

What is a CV and when should you use a CV instead of a resume?
A long, multi-page resume is called a Curriculum Vitae (CV). It is Latin for "course of one's life."
According to Resume Edge (an online consulting group that charges about $100 to professionally rewrite CVs and resumes) you should use a CV in professional industries such as "medicine, law, education, science, and media (television, film, etc.)," and if you are applying for a job in a country outside of the U.S.

NoteIn Britain the term "curriculum vitae" (abbreviated CV) is synonymous with "resume" and you shouldn't produce anything longer than you would if applying for a similar job in America. Obviously, if applying for a demanding professional post for which one can expect fierce competition one needs to be extra clever.That said, employers in Europe can't spend ages reading every applicant's life history, so make your CV reader friendly, so that essentials are easily recognizable. For example, if applying for an academic post or for a creative job in the media, list publications (and also photographic portfolios and the like) separately under their own heading(s). Don't interrupt a list of academic publications or of creative achievements with details of routine administrative functions.
Alternate_ ">AlternateBasically the primary differences between a resume and a curriculum vitae (CV) are the length, what is included and what each is used for. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. While a resume is brief and concise - no more than a page or two, a Curriculum Vitae is a longer (at least two page) and more detailed synopsis.A Curriculum Vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers expect to receive a curriculum vitae. A curriculum vitae is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.
