i got question about these CV joints, ive read some old threads and there was something about the rear of the car feel like its floating when your driving... just wondering if anyone would know what it feels like when a cv joint is gone or snapped?

Fairly safe to say that if you snapped it, you wouldn't be driving to far!

Have you tried looking at them, might be something blindingly obvious that you haven't though of, happened to me on a few occasions.

snapped looks like a snapped rod. If you have destroyed the insides then you wont be able to see any of it because the cv sits inside a protective grease filled rubber coating.

You may have had one go out, they are not complicated as such but do have lots of little parts (race, bearings etc) either take it out and look at it or get a mechanic to, it should be an easy job. (assuming its not that different to ones ive done on other cars)
