I cannot find the printout from Lexus, I'm not sure if I got one.

Online Lexus dealers are now advertising the adjustable cam bolts for the LS460. Apparently, these have always been available (!) but for some reason, my dealer has refused to acknowledge their existence.

It is available through the Lexus catalog and that is how I got the part number and got it from my local dealer.

Darn it, you're right. Back to the aftermarket, I guess!

I do not believe, RWD uses front cam adjusters.

That comma is confusing me! Are you saying the RWD does or doesn't use front cam adjusters?

Default Excessive tire wear.

My 2012 rwd. Front bushings were shot. I should post the pics. Abolute junk. Pull your tire and check them. When I changed them out I found my ball joints were shot too. Lesson learned. I got 10k outta my first set of tires. Bought car used with65k. I wonder why they sold it 😆

Default Resolution

OK just updating this thread for anyone in the future who searches.

what I did was

1) fitted full set of new front bushes (3rd set in 80,000 miles)

2) fitted camber compensating urethane bushes on the top arms to bring camber in spec

3) asked the wheel alignment shop to give me a little toe in at the front, and zero toe at the rear.

This combination fixed the inner wear problem front and rear. Tyres were wearing well 10,000 miles in.

Hi, which set of camber compensating urethane bushes did you install on your LS460? Are they the ones on the link posted above by sktn77a? Can you provide the link? Many thanks.
