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?

haha yeah thats right. drive and it feels like im driving on rocks or the feeling that if your riding a bike and someone has jammed a stick into one of the spokes...
well i looked at them and it doesnt look snapped from the pictures i found from google???
what would a snapped cv joint look like though?

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)
