Like everything else engineering wise,...the less that can achieve the required end result the better. Legislation wise however I don't know. I do know though that an obtuse joint is a plus in the event of a frontal impact.Less chance of the steering wheel impaling into your chest!

Normally there is two UJ's. All of the steering columns we currently make at my work have two.

Any more than that and you will need a bearing support.
