No offense Bruce, but there are probably just as many that aren't level. You only see specs on any vehicle for ride height at specific points for that vehicle. If it was necessary for them to be level, you would find specs accordingly. Realize also that level to ground is not the only angle a joint sees--it is a composite angle that also includes fore-aft positioning, and many many vehicles also have a significant fore-aft angle as well. All of that is driven by complex packaging issues such as component clearances, ground clearance, total ride travel, ratio of jounce vs rebound travel, and of course joint angular cababilities. Very few vehicles use the tripot inner joints because they are sensitive to angles. If you look at true CV joints that are also utilized at the outboard ends, they are capable of very high angles under all operating conditions. And no, the joint angles do not affect torque steer.
