Similar job, but it won't deal with very much of an angle. The Benz has a body-mounted final drive unit, so the driveshaft doesn't move around when the suspension moves.

U-joints fail on RWD live-axle cars also, with similar very bad results. Drag racers are required to have driveshaft hoops to contain the shaft in the case of a joint failure.
