Front Wheel Drive

blacklionboy · 2009-09-28 21:20:28

Hi all, I've been trying to figure out how front wheel drive cars work. Im having trouble understanding how the front wheels can turn and accelerate at the same time? Any one know any good websites or anything that could help? Thanks Sean

CV joints along the driveshaft too. Look them up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-velocity_joint

They allow the shafts to "turn" as such
