Max. limits are:

Type 1 - 12 degrees
Type 2 - 17 degrees
Type 4/Thing - 22 degrees
930 - 25 degrees

These are the limits, but I would be cautious with those angles.  I run Thing cv's on my buggy at about 17 degrees.  No clicking, knocking or banging.  The angle is probably a little less with driver, passenger, a full tank of gas and cargo box full.
