NOTE:
The maximum articulation of the flex coupling is 4 degrees.
The maximum articulation of any U-joint is 25 degrees. The maximum
articulation of the center CV-joint is 20 degrees. The maximum
articulation of the rear axle CV-joint is 15 degrees. If the flex
coupling or any CV-Joint or U-joint of the driveshaft is articulated
further than the maximum allowable degrees damage may occur.
