Just as long as there is no binding all good. You can use multi joint and pillow bearings to make a route. Check out Borgeson see the category STEERING DESIGNING for ideas and explanations.

Under that section that pepi linked to they specify max 35 degrees, less would be better.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Borgeson says their joints will take up to 35* angles. Sweet's may take a little more, since they are more open than the Borgeson. Sweet's are also smaller in diameter than the Borgeson. The Borgeson's yokes are machined from solid and the Sweet's are forged. I've used both brands with no issues.
As Pepi said, you can run as many joints as you need as long as they are supported by bearings and phased correctly. There are also double joints that allow even more angle.
BTW - I'm rebuilding a Healey replica also.
