How about a practical one: these toothed connectors will disconnect very
easily in this steering assembly.


I think that's the main reason. The Technic Connector Toggle Joint Toothed (4273
http://ldraw.org/library/official/images/7/3x/4273.png) is not a good part (the
teeth are easily broken, the connexion is weak). Guys who have built the 8844
cockpit know that.

That's certainly why this part has been replaced in 1997 by the Technic angle
connector parts (32013 and followings)

That's not the only positive change TLG made about Technic Parts...

Of course, before 1997 the use of the Technic Universal Joint

was a good answer to the problem.
