Lateral Links Shot... Options?

BMR adjustable lateral arms replace the factory 3/4" diameter arm with a heavy duty, 1.25" diameter tubular unit. The large 3/4" adjuster allows "on-car" adjustment in an accessible location. The OE rear mount lateral bars are not adjustable from the factory but the BMR replacements provide additional caster adjustment that was not possible with a fixed length arm. The BMR tubular trailing arms replace the factory stamped, u-shaped trailing arm with a 1.5" diameter tubular upgrade. All arms come standard with low deflection, fluted polyurethane bushings equipped with grease fittings. Available in Black Hammertone or red powdercoat.

How will these allow caster adjustment? Is this a typo and they really mean camber? I don't see any way that you could adjust caster with lateral links. And the way it looks to me, the factory lateral links are adjustable.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong though, I am tired

The OEM rear links don't have any adjustment mechanism. These ones have both front and rear adjustment, allowing a caster adjustment. The overall adjustment mechanism is far superior to the factory gen 1 method of a slotted upper hole on the crossmember.

 

Edit: Wait... I think my definition of caster is confused.... so... how DO these allow for a caster adjustment?
