Hey Rick;

Dont know if this will help, but I converted my non adjustable caster rods myself. It started with me looking to replace the original bushes and after visiting a few local parts shops and recieving a lot of blank stares I started to ring the Nissan parts suppliers. I found that adjustable caster rods were about $300-$400. I knew a little about engineering and went "where?" Finally I went to my local parts supplier and asked him about the bushes. He took one look at them and said they looked very familiar and produced a Nilothane parts book, did a few measurements and found that one of the suspension bushes out of a Magna was almost identical, the outside diameter being slightly smaller .Two bushes cost $88. I then took the caster rods to an engineering shop and enquired about cutting, threading and making the adjusters for the rods as well as sleeving down the bushes to fit. At about $50 -$60 bucks an hour it took them about 2 hours to complete. I also made sure they used high grade steel for the adjusters and not mild steel. Not a bad saving in all if you want to go through the exercise. I really got a bit tired of the parts people finding out that you drive an import car that you have money to throw away and treat you like a bozo.

Hope this can help

Thats good advice Peter and an idea I have trying to follow up in a crap 'don't want to know' town. My common reply was...if you have a crash you'll get nothing cos its made.

I think thats crap cos everything is made by someone.

After all it should be pretty simple to make just using a strut brace thread principle....I'm still trying
