📌 What is a CV Joint and why is it used in vehicles?

A constant-velocity joint (also called a CV joint and homokinetic joint) is a mechanical coupling that allows the shafts to rotate freely (without an appreciable increase in friction or backlash) and compensates for the angle between the two shafts within a certain range to maintain the same velocity.

CV joints are commonly used in front-wheel drive vehicles, where they transfer the engine’s power to the wheels, even as the angle of the driveshaft varies due to the operation of the suspension.

📌 What its function:

CV joints allow the wheels to turn constantly while the vehicle moves over uneven surfaces or turns. They do this by compensating for the angle between the drive shafts and the transmission.

📌 Where it’s found:

CV joints are located at the ends of the drive shafts and are primarily used in front-wheel drive vehicles, but can also be found in rear- and four-wheel drive vehicles.

📌How it works:

Each drive wheel has two CV joints: one connects the transmission to the axle, and the other connects the axle to the wheel.

Cooling System in the Car: How does it work

1. RADIATOR:

It cools off the anti-freeze/coolant mixture by allowing air to pass through the tube/fin area to dissipate the heat generated by the engine.

2. WATER PUMP:

It draws the cooled anti-freeze from the radiator and pumps it through the engine block, cylinder head(s), heater core, and back to the radiator.

3. FREEZE PLUGS:

It is actually a steel plug designed to seal holes in the engine block and cylinder head(s) created from the casting process. In freezing weather, they may push out if there is not enough anti-freeze protection.

5. HEATER CORE:

It provides heat to the interior of the car by using heat removed from the antifreeze and blown in by the blower motor. May cause steam, odor, or actual dripping inside the car when it leaks.

6. THERMOSTAT:

It controls the minimum operating temperature of the engine. The thermostat is closed when the engine is cold to speed warm-up and opens when normal operating temperature is reached to allow the anti-freeze/coolant to pass through the radiator.

7. HOSES (Radiator, Heater, By-pass):

It connects the other main components of the cooling system. Hose manufacturers recommend replacing it every 4 years regardless of appearance because there may be deterioration of the inside of the hose which cannot be seen.

8. COOLING FAN:

Most front wheel drive cars use this because of the transversely mounted engine. It is turned on by a system of sensors and relays when the engine reaches about 230 F and stays on until R is cooled to about 200 F.

9. PRESSURE CAP:

A pressure cap, also known as a radiator cap, is a device that seals a vehicle’s cooling system to maintain pressure and increase the boiling point of the coolant.

10. TEMPERATURE SENSOR:

A coolant temperature sensor (CTS), also known as an engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT), measures the temperature of the coolant in a car’s cooling system.
