This piece is essential to a CV-joint. The 8880 utilizes this in the joints
that connect the wheels with the drive train. In real life, a mechanism, not
unlike this, makes possible rear-independent suspension (on vehicles with
rear-wheel drive), front-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and four-wheel steering
(although there haven't been that many commercial vehicles that utilizes
four-wheel steering, the most notable being an early model of the Honda
Prelude). It is dissappointing that Lego doesn't make more pieces to
interoperate with it.
