[DeTomaso] DeTomaso caster

Speaking of plastic suspension bushing (delrin, polyurethane, whatever) is
it more desirable to have the suspension arm rotate around a bushing that is
held stationary or have the bushing/arm rotate around the stationary inner
sleeve? With custom fitted parts, either scenario is possible.

as 8 degrees of caster with no discernable increase in steering effort.
Definately worth the increased control/stability at speed.
