We usually conduct testing runs using tie rods instead of shocks to get the car running straight (adjusting the pivotballs and steering arms to best setting and then adding the shocks (rear ones first) for several runs to get these fine tuned and perfect on both sides. Then we take off the rear shocks and put on the front ones to fine tune them.

This could take maybe 2months from the start to finish before the car is raced in anger. Really requires patience and a calm head to stop you even twitching that throttle the wrong way [/B]
