Well, not exactly. Here's a picture of a real-life one:

There's a universal joint shaft going directly into the differential housing, just like on a solid axle, and then drive is taken from that swingarm to the other one using an extra, central, universal joint. Does that make sense?

Thanks for the info, I see that's for real cars, I doubt we can do the same in lego....

Well, it's challenging, but it is possible! At a minimum, one of the MOCs at the start of this topic, and a couple of my MOCs linked in a spoiler box early in the thread, managed to do it!

i think we have a bit shiftep from topic about I-beams to the Tatra
So if have any ideas how to make beams better, will be apriciated) i want to create an " ideal" set up and bring them to the world of MOC's

You mean this one from OP? 

My bad, didn't pay close attention, it's indeed impressive, I would never use so many u joints in a moc like this, I would worry so much about broken u joints or slipped out axles

That exactly that i have done) the  trcuk on 62 wheels use this kind of suspension) Maybe not so clean and "good" looking, but share same principle.
