	Shield for use in a constant velocity joint - Patent 6579187
		To achieve this protection the constant velocity joint is usually enclosed at the open end of the outer case by a sealing boot made of a rubber, thermoplastic or silicone.
		The constant velocity joints 10 may be any of the standard types known such as a plunging tripod, cross groove joint, fixed joint, a fixed tripod joint, or double offset joints, all of which are commonly known terms in the art for different varieties of constant velocity joints.
		The constant velocity joint 10 is a fixed constant velocity joint which is generally used in the prop shaft 26 in an all wheel drive vehicle.

	Tips - Constant Velocity Universal Joints
		A constant velocity universal joint transmits a smooth rotation from a drivlng shaft to a driyen shaft at any working angle without the usual speeding up and slowing down action that is customary in a shaft driven by a universal Joint of the simple, pin, yoke, or spider type.
		Constant velocity universal joint’s are of either the disk or the bell type.
		Constant velocity joints are particularly useful in all types of motor vehicles, from, the lightest passenger car to the heaviest truck.

	Constant-velocity joint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Driveshafts using CV joints are self-supporting along their length, and do not need additional supports (although very long shafts such as the right-hand driveshaft on the Citroën CX or Peugeot 205 have an intermediate bearing that supports the inboard joint).
		The end of the driveshaft (1) is splined which fits into the outer "joint" (4) and is typically held in place by a circlip.
		Constant velocity joints are usually reliable and largely trouble-free.

	B274
		The difference between a constant velocity joint and a Universal joint is in the theory of operation.
		When a second joint is put in phase with the first joint, the velocity change is countered from joint to joint so the input speed at the first joint will be the same as the output speed after the second joint.
		Constant velocity joints are usually much larger than the equivalent universal joint and are generally used in the automotive industry, not in industrial applications.

		In 1959 Alex Issigonis developed the constant velocity joint to drive the front wheels of the Austin and Morris Mini Minor, he also made the fatal mistake of using the shaft to retain the wheel.
		Either the Constant Velocity Joint drive shaft has reached a pinnacle of engineering excellence unheard of in any other field of engineering or something has gone terribly wrong, it is feared the latter is the case, a failed shaft is to hand.
		Final sudden fracture of the remaining cross section, in the case of the constant velocity joint shaft it will remain in it's intact state until the side load on the wheel is sufficient to separate the bearing allowing the wheel to detach.

	All Wheel Alignment and Brake Service, CV U-Joints
		A constant velocity joint is one that provides consistent velocity regardless of the operating angle of the joint.
		Constant velocity joints because of their unique ability to overcome some of the design limitations of conventional Cardan style U-joints, have become a common component on many of today's drivetrains.
		A Universal Joint, or U-Joint is a simple flexible coupling using a double yoke and four-point center cross.

	CV Joint (constant velocity joint) and Boot Service, CV Joint Repair- Meineke
		Constant velocity joints, or CV joints are universal joints that are able to transfer torque at large angles efficiently.
		A common cause of CV joint failure is cracks in the CV boot.
		When the boot is cracked, it allows dirt and grit to mix with the grease and wear down the parts of the joint.

	Driveline Vibrations after Lifting
		Constant velocity as the name implies means the output should exactly mirror the input.
		If the same CV joint is used at 14 degrees, then there would be as much error as if you were using a single normal ujoint at 1 degree.
		This is the angle of the center section of the CV joint.

	What is a CV Joint?
		A CV joint, or constant velocity joint, is part of a drive shaft, the shaft that attaches to a car's transmission at one end and the wheel at the other.
		CV joints are designed to be able to bend in any direction while continuing to turn the drive wheels at a constant velocity.
		The CV joint is used in front wheel drive cars because of its ability to maintain a constant drive force to the wheels despite the many different kinds of movements in the front end of the car.

	CV joint (Constant Velocity joint) - Vehicle Terms, Parts and Abbreviations
		CV joints (Constant Velocity Joints) allow a rotating driveshaft to transfer power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction or play, freely allowing the wheel to move up and down with the suspension and rotate about a vertical axis for steering.
		rear wheel drive cars with equipped with independent rear suspension typically use CV joints at the ends of the rear axle halfshafts.
		AWD (all wheel drive) vehicles use them for all four half-axles and on the front-to-rear driveshaft (propeller shaft) as well.

	CV joint
		A Constant Velocity Joints or CV joints are attached to each end of a drive shaft (see the picture).
		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.
		Different variations of ball-type CV joints are commonly used on the outer side of the drive shaft, while tripod-type CV joints mostly used on the inner side.

	Constant Velocity Joint Maintenance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A Constant Velocity, or "CV" joint is a special type of flexible couple that allows a shaft to rotate at a fixed speed regardless of the angle at which it is bent.
		While CV joints are extremely effective in maintaining constant velocity during extreme angles, they are vulnerable to premature failure if exposed to dirt or moisture.
		For that reason, constant velocity joints are protected with an accordion rubber boot that permits free movement but keeps the elements out.

		In Europe, the device is often called the Cardan joint or Cardan shaft.
		To prevent the jerky rotation of the axle or driven shaft there usually are two U-joints in a three part shaft assembly.
		The second U-joint will convert the jerky movement back to an even, uniform speed of the third shaft - if both the driving and the driven shaft are parallel and the two universal joints are correctly aligned with each other.
