Re: [T3] DARKSIDE Caster

This would be a great resource for T3 owners. It's not that beam rubbers
often need replacement -- I've worked with several front ends, and while the
rubbers are usually imperfect, they'll generally serve -- but rather that
this part is important to frontend performance and could be improved with
higher-quality materials and a little thought. Further, when the ride height
changes, whether from lowering, lifting or nonstock tires, caster changes as
well, and this is where caster can be readjusted, by adding or subtracting
thickness to or from the rubber.

Body mount rubbers would be good too -- this seems easy, but I haven't seen
any repops for sale.
