A double cardan negates the speed changes of a single, so I think the other end needs to be close to zero degrees. OE was engineered appropriately. If you have double at one end, and an angle to the opposite end, it will be like having a u-jt out of time. And I suspect they can't 'bend' as far a a standard u-jt? Or maybe they bend twice as far? Caster wedges will twist the rear axle, but how much can you twist the front before steering geometry goes to heck?

I would sure want to study up on some engineering before I let somebody sell me one.
