I replaced 6 swivel housings to date and never knew there was a dowel bolt. I guess a habit of fitting all fasteners before torquing any of them down paid off.

The problem happens if you mix the bolts up and put both dowel bolts on one side. This means the other side with have the wrong castor.

That's right! If you do one at a time there is no problem. If you do both you have to check that each of the dowel bolts goes where they belong in each swivel.
