6 one, half dozen the other.

most people call them half shafts. or just axels.
the "cv" part normaly refers to the joint. (constant velocity joint )

the one that goes into the trans is a half shaft, the other is a cv axle. i went around and around with that because when i got my car it didn't have the jackshaft.

i needed to know this because i have to replace it.
also when i buy it i need to know whether my car is limited slip or locked.
How CAN I TELL HELP !!!!!
