FYI, only camber adjustment is possible for stock 3IS. No toe adjustment is possible.

The 2nd gen IS allows both toe and camber adjustments whereas the 1st gen IS allows all three adjustments (toe, camber and, caster)

Can't speak for AWD model but there is no camber adjustment on RWD, only toe.

Stay away from ball joints, it can pop out and cause major headaches ....it's worth it to do it right the 1st time, and that is to go with camber arms.




T-Demand fuca installed on my buddy's ride.<br/>Installation was easy...the hardest part was adjustment to the arms, but in the end both sides came out perfect.

Actually, it's the other way around. Stock 3IS has toe adjustment, not camber. That's why we buy camber kits.

Bumping this old thread. I recently bought SPC rear camber kit on ebay. Pretty good price. I used my ebay bucks this month to knock the price down a bit. If you have bill me later, you get no interest for 6 months.

Thanks for pointing out. You are correct. I intended to say only toe but no camber adjustment. Sorry for the confusion.

I had my local Mechanic Look up Camber arms because i am having extreme inner wear on my Fsport Tires..I am not dropped either but i am within spec however i forgot about all of you guys on the forums Sorry! LoL

So What We Found out was that The Lexus 2G IS and 3G IS share the same upper control arm part numbers in all data wouldn't this mean that they are the same and 2g is camber arms will fit??

can anyone else verify this?????

if your suspension is sitting at stock height, camber wear should not occur. especially if you're only seeing uneven tire wear on your front tires. what's more likely the case is the toe adjustment is off

i just looked up toe wear


and it is a thin inner edge i am experiencing so thin it peels off only the inner edge of the tire showing cords, which is not covered under wheel and tire package and caused me to pay out of pocket for a new 2 front tires

you're welcome

if you get an alignment, it should prevent that from happening in the future. make sure you get a printout of the specs when you're done to ensure the proper numbers
