Yes, they are slotted for caster - but in order to adjust them, you have to take the rotor off........... My $1,000 alignment - corner / cross weight, ride height setting was done with the control arms not the uprights. I don't even want to think about what the labor would cost to adjust the caster that way. Who designed these and why. 3000's didn't have them. The 4000s did not have them and I am finding out that not all the 4700s have them. Other companies don't make them this way......
