A uj is not happy working past 45 degrees. Suggest you either pop another uj in @ the point it makes its first bend, or at the point it makes the last bend. My guess is it only makes one bend , but either way pop 2 in @45 degrees to each other.
The other option is a central shift that is closer in line to "true"
You could also consider a bit of nylon on the shaft carrier. Try a bit of that plastic stuff they wrap insulation tape around (cut to size) and give it a dose of PTFE grease (other stuff is available)
