I will be installing a set this week. The stock rubber ones are pressed out and the new one is two halves that go in from top and bottom. Then the factory bolt goes through and the whole thing spins like an eccentric bolt to push the lower controk arm forward or backward. So once you have the caster where you want it, how do you lock it in place?

Scary thing is that I called Vivid, they didn't know and they sell them. I called Torque Solutions, one of the companies who makes them, and they don't even know! How can people build something and not tell you how it works?
