I have an old  and beat up jeep wagoneer...my insurance company thinks it's
a sport wagon, whatever that means :)  i'm pretty sure it's got a
differential on the front too...anywho, i think my next anim's going to have
to be a cv joint.  i found some good pictures on the net.  thanks for the
heads up on the definition.
