Hi Dick, I have set up one of my Mangusta's this way. You can set it up yourself as most alignment shops will not wish to spend the time and effort to get it right. Set up a laser pointer off the hub to allow tracking of the wheel as it goes up and down. There are a number of setups to do this on various websites to setup alignment. The adjustments are done with rear shocks removed and upper limit and lower limit of wheel movement are used as total movement datum. Check this with the original top T link setup. You will find as the wheel moves up to full compression the toe out will be displayed. As the lower trailing arm is shortened and top trailing arm is lengthened this toe out will be reduced. Should be able to get zero toe change or some small toe in improvement. These changes cannot be done with the fixed top link as the hub cannot get any caster change. I think this Mangusta problem has mostly been seen as an issue when changing throttle position while cornering or a change in gear under constant cornering. Hope this makes sense, Mike
