Applied this solution to the 42147 on my desk and it works flawlessly, better then the original. 

Maybe this solution doesn't meed TLG's standards, or they need some extra parts for the B-model. I don't understand for example why they've added the 5L liftarm to limit the steering range. This range is already limited by the steering linkage....

I'm pretty sure they added the 5L liftarm to avoid the "steering rack" (built of 3L axle and two connectors (with axle hole and pinhole)) from being pulled apart when playing heavily.

Without the 5L liftarm these parts would losen or fall apart completely because they can only convey pushing; when being pulled, the connectors will move on the 3L axle, which will result in disfuntional steering.
