Probably one thing you guys should check is the front track width if your continually popping the doggies out. From my experiences running a front track width of 199 mm you should never have a problem, even when there is heaps of steering dialed in.
Sometimes i have even been a bit concerned that the dogbones are a tad tight......
Hope this helps out

Agreed - I think they are a bit tight too and was worried about the front bearings.
You reminded me . . . . last race week, between heats, I noticed these two "ring things" on the front dogbone. I first thought the front inner wheel bearing had let go due to the tight dogbones. On close inspection I found the two "ring things" were bearing shields from the wheel bearing. Obviously there shouldn't be two shields there - maybe one.
I can only guess that the robot that assembled this bearing had installed an extra shield instead of a snap ring. Ya just can't trust robots.
