I tried doing a search.


Does anyone know of or done a triangulation check and aligment checks?


Is there a known point of reference to use, for triangulation / alignment ?


I use to use my own homemade triangulation tool and zero-erro alignment tools.


For dialing in my kids soapbox derby cars.


I wondered just how often, if ever people ever triangulate and check alignment do a good known degree of measurement.


If I have lost you, This is in reference to toe in, toe out, caster, camber.
I mean, we use to run less than .003 accurate on our alignment, now naturally, thats not real practical here.


So, im looking for some data, to be able to check with a reference point.


Would you do that with the atv under load ? meaning the rider on it or not under load ?

This is really also not so specific to the blaster, in the comments / question of the last previous question.


Another example, Ive seen a wide range of vehicles, you can tell they are out of alignment, there triangulation, it looks like they riding with the back in cocked off track from the front.

Usually if you can see it, or feel a issue, its pretty far off.
