So what do we have in the front if we have cv in the rear? Thanks

You have a upper and lower control arm with a steering knuckle sandwiched between with ball joints. The steering knuckle has the wheel bearing bolted to it, and is connected to the steering rack via a tie rod. There are no axles in the front, even though there are cut outs in the firewall for them (possibly due to having shared components with the G37).

Thanks for taking the time to explain.
