I get, that it should induce some unwanted forces into the steering and front suspension, but do not notice anything on track or any influence on drivetrain or steering action. I suppose the angles are not great enough on the doublejointcardan to have a noticeable effect.
That's really interesting that you don't notice much of a difference. I've testing moving the axle joint away from the KP axis on 8th scale buggies and just 1mm (in or out) causes a dramatic difference in the cars handling. The differences are felt most during heavy braking and heavy acceleration.
