If you have an off-road car, the following information is very useful. Off Road use hammers CV Joints, both in the angle the CVs operate in, and in the shock loads going through the joint. Off Road Cars should consider moving to other CV joints to address both the angle and the power handling. The more angle the CV Joint can take, the more wheel travel the car can have without grenading CV Joints.

The VW THING (Type 181s) uses a Type 2 (Bus) CV Joint, which is a higher-angle joint, it is is capable of 17 degrees of angle.
