Similar to what I'm building now I think. I'm using 2 u-joints with
'parallelogram' suspension, and it works ok as long as you make sure that
the pivot points for the hub and suspension are vertically aligned witht he
u-joint pivot points. That way, distance does not increase or decrease
(altho it does a wee bit i think due to simple tolerances in LEGO) and
allows all points to remain equi-distant relative to each other in 3 dmensions.

| (...) The problem with using u-joints is that as the angle increases, the output becomes more "jumpy" relative to the input. This is why real cars (and the 8880) use CV joints. With suspension, it's OK, because you can use two u-joints to cancel (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
