f/s used castor/strut rod arms
i have for sale a set of castor rod arms that i will sell outright and for a small fee swap with someone else.. this will help min down time for those looking to do the daizen bushing swap..
you can either buy my arms , swap the bushings into them and when they are done swap out your arms in under a hr.. most of the down time spent with is gwetting the old bushings out and replacing with the new daizen one
the arms sell new for around 250-275 i would take 150 for them or 75 to do a swap with obo

There's castor arms, inner tie rods, outter tie rods, ball joint, control arms.
All the above are prone to failure over time (60k and up)

castor/strut rod arms mount onto the end of the lower control arms just about at the steering knuckle and run backwards about a foot to under the floorboard.. this arm is where 95% of shimmy and vibrations and susp distortion comes from.. the inside this arm is made to twist in so many directions that they fail almost immed but where designed to absorb imperfections for that "luxury ride" .. well when we lower our cars and put on bigger wider wheels it amplifies its negative characteristics.. i replaced this bushing first and by itself to see it this by itself corrects and eliminates the shimmy/vibration issue.. i have had the bushings on since sept 05 with very hard driving and still the bushings do their job.. i just added the lower control arm bushings over the weekend

I am asking becasue I I have changed a lot of the suspension parts to eliminate or at least attempt to eliminate this tracking issue that I have had. Let's see, I've changed the Lower control arms, the sway bar bushings, the lower ball joints and have had 2 alignments and new tires...I still can't get rid of it. When I drive i'm constantly correcting while driving to compensate for the tracking. It has gotten better but it's stillt here.
