Castor and camber are two separate adjustments.
Castor is how far the suspension strut leans forward or backwards and adjustment is very limited.
Camber is the tilt of the wheels top to bottom measured across the car. How far apart are the wheels at the top compared to the distance at the bottom. Adjustment depends on the suspension fitted. Like castor, camber adjustment can be limited. So work out which one it is you to adjust.
call the manufacturer. check out you large local hardware shop for their range of castor wheels . try a shop that specialises in wheels and castors or check out a furniture hard ware shop. some office furniture supply shops have castors that may do the job. Remember in trying to get 1 it may be easier to get 4 new ones of a different style that will fit the hole.
Most common indicators are. Wheel alignment ( not enough Castor adjustment) worn tie rod end/s Incorrect size tyres ( you have to have the rim sizes the same on both sides ) even though you noticed a difference Loose steering box / rack or worn rack mount rubbers Probably the noise under the floor as the rack is bashed up and down from the wobble. What you describe is castor wobble and some makers recommend 0 castor when in fact the setting should be 1/2 to 1 1/2 degree positive.
