It allows the transmission to provide torque to the wheels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"><strong>Transmission:<\/strong> The transmission in a vehicle transfers power from the engine to the wheels, and it also helps gear-shifting.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"><strong>CV joints:<\/strong> CV joints, also called constant-velocity joints, are part of the driveshaft. These joints can bend in any direction \u2013 because of their design \u2013 and allow the axle to move with your vehicle while continuing to turn the drive wheels. CV joints are found in front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"><strong>U-Joint:<\/strong> The universal or U joint is a flexible point found on both driveshaft ends.
