I'm not sure if the title explains what I am trying to figure out, but why is it that a double cardan driveshaft is sometimes referred to as a 'CV' driveshaft?
I was under the impression that a CV driveshaft was similar to the type of CV joint found on say an RCV axle or most modern day vehicles. You know, where it has the ball bearings and such.
Lastly, why is it that our driveshafts on these TJs don't use CV joints like an RCV axle or something? Wouldn't that be better than the double cardan driveshafts (which near as I can tell use u-joints)?
