A constant velocity joint assembly includes an outer joint member defining a first longitudinal axis and including a closed end, an open end, a first set of outer tracks extending at least partially between the closed end and the open end, and a second set of outer tracks extending at least partially between the closed end and the open end. The assembly also includes an inner joint member defining a second longitudinal axis coaxial with the first longitudinal axis and including a first set of inner tracks and a second set of inner tracks, the inner joint including an attachment feature to receive a driveshaft. A path followed by the center of a ball in the first set of tracks is constrained by an outer race track path and an inner race track path, the outer race track path being a piecewise continuous function.
