The rubber circles/rubber cylinders/shocks were held by a 2 inch bolt that went through the frame and screwed into the top of the wheel pod assembly. The modules movement actually is surprisingly good at keeping the wheels in contact with the ground. Once it was aligned, it worked quite well on many different surfaces.
