  1. The people that have worked with these new hubs will probably agree that it is safe to say that they are going to be around for a long time... The old styled hubs from the 8466, 8653, 8145, and 8070 are more than likely going to ride off into the sunset as there is a new Sheriff in town... I also wouldn't be surprised if we don't see the steering arms used much(or at all) in the future as well.. These new hubs offer many unique ways to mount them... I can only assume that the way that I have used them in this front suspension module is probably how the B-Model for the 42000 is set up using this piece as the steering pivot point... By not using the old style towball hubs, you also now have more stability and won't need to reinforce the old steering arms with a liftarm to keep them uniform... The new steering hubs will stay about as stable as the steering arms that you build.... The downfall is that the height has been increased to 5 studs from the previous 3... You could also plug in the old towball pins in the top and bottom and use the traditional steering arms, but with a new parts like this, do you really want to..? Not as much pivot/steering friction and wobbling anymore like there was with the towballs and steering arms Another nice thing about the new hubs is that you can choose to make your steering arms shorter if you want and still incorporate All Wheel Drive while staying true... As seen here by eliminating the second CV joint and replacing it with a 3L universal joint, you can change the liftarm to a regular 5L one and you have your pivot point true with the pivot point of the universal joint leaving space in between the shock towers to throw in an engine.. The days of having to stablize the rear hubs with 4 steering links are gone... I am going to play around tonight with doing something similar in the front, I really wish that Lego would have introdiced some new 5L steering links to replace the old 6L ones... I have more pictures and angle of these suspension Modules here -> LINK (when moderated at brickshelf)
