You have your finger on it, Ross! It is the weight of the hubs and tires, I have decided, which exacerbates any friction at the steering arm between itself and the knuckle ball and the locking hub. I have been building an 8880 chassis from spare (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

They probably stopped making them a year ago, left them in the S@H catalog as long as they had a big stack of them in the warehouse, and are only down to a handfull now. It's still up at shop.lego.com until that last handfull is gone, that way (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
