As far as my knowledge goes... The greater the angle of a universal shaft, the more inconsistent it's rotation is (the speed with which the wheel axle rotates will move up and down a certain amount of times in every rotation, and the difference in speed increases with the angle of the universal shaft). This can be seen very clearly on the front end of some 4WDs on full steering and compressed suspension.
This varying speed should make for less forward traction and I can imagine your sideways grip on power will be lower as well.
