That's an interesting idea! I've pondered a bit about this, and I think
the wheels tilt the correct way, but I'm not quite sure about it. I'll
take a look at the model when I come home.
Now I understand why some car manufacturers advertise "unequal length
wishbones"!

Perhaps it can be done, but I fear that it will make the suspension much
more complicated. For the small wheels (compared with the 8880!), I
really need a sleek and compact suspension.
