Adjustable Castor Rods

[RusH_]

Hey guys,

My Castor Rod bushes are cracked and really due to be fixed up, so im looking into gettin adjustable castor rods as opposed to just replacing the broken ones with a factory pair.

My questions are, what companies make adjustable castor rods, where can i get some, and how much will they cost me.

I know Cusco make some, but haven't found somewhere selling them yet

Also ISC on here have a set

for $199

any help would be appreciated.

Just jap have 2 or 3 varieties.

Just jap have 2 or 3 varieties.

Maybe i'm paranoid, but check that any pillow ball/rose joint stuff is street legal. My guess is that without the bush the ability to absorb shock loading is significantly reduced.

You can get adjustable replacement bushes (but there's not much adjustment). Whiteline etc

Awesome, thanks for all your replys guys.

r33cruiser - what differences did you notice once they were on?

be careful with cheap ones as the part where the the joint is, just before where the bolt goes through can snap and has snapped before.

CUSCO FTW every time. I have them, they are awsome, have dust boots on them to stop crap getting in the spherical bearing.

[Abo Bob]

Standard ones snap too. Ask Duncan. He has done it twice.

My JJ ones have dust boots. I didn't get the cheapest ones they had but the next ones up.

yeh, i had a look at the cusco ones, cant remember where i saw those, bnr - where did you get yours?

Got mine from greenline.jp wasn't to expensive then, exchange rate now is a killer though

I'd go Cusco ones.

I have those D-Project ones and I regret not spending the extra and getting proper Japanese ones..

The D-Project ones started making a pretty terrible noise in the joint after about...3 months? Sprayed it with silicone spray and that's kept it quiet for a few weeks now...but yeah, If I had to do it again I'd get Cusco or Tein ones..

Nengun FTW
