Term

The real name for the joint in the front end is "constant velocity Joint" of CV joint for short. It delivers motion through a range of degrees.

Warning: If your car is over 4 years old and front wheel drive you should be inspecting the "Boot" every oil change. If this rubber cover breaks, water gets in and the grease goes out. That is bad.
