I should have done more research before I wrote the above. The
steering/suspension elements of 8465 are not new -- They are from 8858,
released in 1994/1995. (The elements are the same, the mechanism is a bit

See <http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/8000/8858-1995/8858-22.html>:
1) The blue piece in Step 26: 8465 has 8 of it, in grey.
2) The ball-joint piece in Step 27: 8465 has 4 of it, in black.
Also see <http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/8000/8858-1995/8858-20.html> for
the small rack piece: It is in black now.
Cheers,
Hao-yang Wang
