If I have my front struts replaced does that system include new CV joints?

Replacing front struts typically does not include replacing CV joints. CV joints are part of the drivetrain, specifically the half-shafts that connect the wheels to the transmission. Struts are part of the suspension system and are responsible for supporting the vehicle's weight and providing a smooth ride. While both components are important for the proper functioning of a vehicle, they are separate systems and are usually replaced independently.
