How many cars and trucks have halfshafts and CV joints?
Around 80 percent of all late-model passenger cars are equipped with front-wheel drive (FWD) and have CV joints and halfshafts. About the same percentage of minivans also have FWD. Trucks and SUV?s by comparison, have either rear wheel drive (RWD) or four wheel drive (4WD). Many of those that have 4WD use halfshafts for the front axels, while many smaller SUV?s and crossover vehicles use halfshafts front and rear.
