radius rods (castor rods-castor arms) are only attatched with 3 bolts and nuts. They obviously replace ur old ones and are bushless so to speak. The 2 threads at the ends just have a bolt and washer and the other end has like a "floating" as i would say bearing and has a bolt and nuts that attatches is. It has a swivel head and moves accordingly. A great upgrade tho i must say, adjusting to a good +castor rate of +8,9 is perfect.

yes, you can get adjustable castor rods, but keep in mind, they are a bit harsher for driving on road.

www.garage-13.com sell them, better than going ebay. because you won't have to pay ebay fees...

I strongly suggest that you have read of this thread and then you can make up your own mind which way you want to go.
