What are the function and structure of the front axle shaft and CV joints in the differential/axle system of a Nissan Pathfinder?

Power is transmitted from the differential to the front wheels through axle shafts with inner CV joints and outer "ball-and-cage" type CV joints. Inspect boots periodically for damage and leaking lubricant. Symptoms of worn or damaged CV joints include clicking noise in turns, clunk when accelerating and vibration at highway speeds. Play in the CV joints and axle shafts can be checked by rotating them in both directions.
