Help!! Wheel alignment- Rear toe adjustment control arm
Hello everyone, I went to the body shop today to have my wheel alignment done, but unfortunately, the guy at the body shop told me that the rear wheels can not have the wheel alignment done due to rusted. The rear toe adjustment seized will not adjust, and I have to replace it.
What my question is, which parts do I need to replace? I searched on eBay, and I found Camber kit and Toe control arms.. I think what I need is the Toe control arms, but I'm not really sure. My car is a 2008 Lexus IS250 AWD, I saw on eBay that there are some control arms only for RWD vehicles..
Adjustment toe, that thing always seized and rusted on our IS250 mine also the same, they said i need to replace it, i think 300$ dealership or you can get performance one for same price, it's the rubber bushing inside the knuckle that crack they don't sell bushing itself, it comes with the whole arm. Mine i leave it till the other one goes bad and i replace in pair at once. Up to you though.
You need to find out exactly what is rusted. The arm itself being rusted is irrelevant to the adjustment; even if the ball joint on the knuckle side is worn out the toe is still adjustable. The adjustment is done via a cam-bolt on each side, which is on the inboard/subframe side of the arm. Those parts being rusted solid, or rounded out will prevent the toe from being adjusted. Replacing the cam-bolts, washers, and nuts can be done for ~$75.
You are looking for parts 48409, 48452R, & 90170-12030 in the diagram, although those are not the entire part numbers.

Exactly what he said here, at the rear adjustment toe is the only arm for the camber, you either type Adjustment toe on ebay or ask dealer, they knows.
