Adjustable Castor rods- apparent bolt on mod for S30 cars
« on: March 16, 2010, 06:51:27 PM »
Has anyone heard of swapping to XD, XE or XF castor rods?
Apparently it takes longer for the paint to dry on it than it takes to fit.......
My car has different rods, so this won't work on S130's  :'(

Yes I've heard of it.

I believe Steve (ChevZ) has them fitted to his 260...

Your excused stoopid Gareth  :P
Apparently bolts on, they are thicker and adjustable.
Just take the steel insert (sheath) out of the front bush.
This is heresay, just sharing the love  :-*

I adapted ford xb castor rods.

I made them adjustable on my race 260 2+2.
Extended thread and drilled one new hole, that way I could use existing bracket and bushes
