( Junta de Velocidad Constante ) Uno de los pequeños dispositivos circulares en un extremo de un eje en un autobús. Los autobuses, Vanagons y EuroVans tienen cuatro de estos, mientras que los Vanagons Syncro tienen un total de ocho. Estos son necesarios para permitir que el eje se mueva hacia arriba y hacia abajo mientras aún gira para impulsar el coche. Las articulaciones necesitan mantenerse engrasadas para funcionar correctamente. Cuando están desgastadas, hacen un ruido de golpe que infunde miedo en el corazón de los propietarios de autobuses en todas partes. Los microbuses no tienen juntas CV, sino que utilizan un 'eje de balancín' y una caja de engranajes de reducción en su lugar.

( Constant Velocity Joint ) One of the small circular devices at an end of an axle on a bus . Buses , Vanagons , and EuroVans have four of these, while the Syncro Vanagons have a total of eight. These are necessary to allow the axle to move up and down while still turning to propel the car. the joints need to be keep greased to function properly. when they are worn, they make a knocking-noise that strikes fear into the hearts of bus owners everywhere. Microbuses do not have CV joints, but use a 'swing-axle' and reduction gear box instead.
