Radius Rod bushes, also known as castor rod bushes , will effect the feedback you feel through the steering wheel and tyre wear.

I had my front pair replaced with adjustable urethane bushes from pedders for a around $350.

Put whitleline adjustable castor rod bushes on my 33gtr cost $268.00 including fitting. Increased castor angle from ~3.0 degrees to ~ 5.5 degrees. Anymore than that will require adjustable castor rods, these can rattle a bit after a while but !!!!!

YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH CASTOR and theres nothing bad too much castor will cause.

Nope. Go try find the topic I posted asking about suspension settings, theres a bit in there about it.

(edited because I forgot what I was typing)

Toe in and out is which way the wheels point, castor is different to this, and adds camber when you turn the wheels. (or so I have been lead to belive)

Castor. Think castor wheels on shopping trolleys. Its where the wheel sits behind the pivot point with regard to the steering angle.
