just got an alignment....

-3* up front
-4* in the rear

all toe in spec.

Based on cam bolt for tierods, i should be able to pull up to -6 without adjustable tierods.

Hello. Just bought an 03 LS430 UL and it has the Camber issue on the left rear where it is riding on the inside of the tire and wearing it out. Does anyone here know of a shop in or around Phoenix other than a dealership that knows how to fix this properly? I found the different length control arms on the Carson Toyota website for $139.09 each, but also read the Toe has to be adjusted as well. This is a great group with lots of insightful information I used prior to buying the 430. Thanks everyone for all the great information on the LS430

From what it sounds, your car is not lowered at all.

In that case, it sounds as if something is bent. The rear arms on Ls' do not have adjustment except for Toe which is done with the cam bolt.

Any competent alignment tech can adjust the problems, but until its on a rack, its hard to say what your problem is as you may only have an issue with toe.

How did you get so much camber on the front? My alignment guy could only go -1.9* on the front and still keep the toe in spec. My rears are at -4.1*

When I just changed from a stretched tire to a non stretched tire it definitely reduced the negative camber so I would also say the same holds true going the other way as well. If u run ona a super stretched tire it will force the car to have a little more negative camber, this can't be too good for anythin though.
