Being a perfectionist, I always perform 4 wheel alignments on our car during the final assembly before each race. I know the coefficient of friction is forgiving in the dirt, and perhaps the time I spend may be in vain, but the Monster Mav always tracks straight and true, and is well mannered when driving in the deep grooves we all encounter while racing. Notice how I used thin strips of aluminum in place of the shocks to identify ride ht./wheel position. I run 7 degrees caster (factory caster setting) and -.4 degrees camber with 0" toe in at the rear hubs, while the front end gets 1/8"-1/4" toe in with -.3 degrees camber and 4 to 7 degrees +caster. Designing the pivoting joints in all of the suspension areas allows me infinite adjustability for these parameters, but more importantly, allows me to keep the axle plunge adjusted properly as the frame takes a beating and permanently deforms after severe impacts.
