standard wisdom is that you don't mix joint types ,,CV as the name says is constant velocity across the joint when operating at an angle ,,,cross type u-joint causes a cyclic variation in output speed ,,normally reversed at second u-joint ,that is to say ,,as the first ujoint turns the shaft that it is driving speeds up and slows down during rotation ,,the second joint acting properly phased and a same but opposite angle reverses this speed variation so end result is smooth ,,, so much for the common wisdom ,,several members are using toronado setups with CV inboard and cross u joint at wheel and apparently no problems ,,if there was it would show as vibration ,,,how are you going to position the trailing arm ? the stock half shaft controls camber with its fixed length ,,a CV has plunge in it to allow for length change so you will need an upper location for the arm ,,note that I am assuming you are using stock trailing arms
