2002 Ls430 Rear Caster Issue???!?!?! Stance gurus halp! Pictures for reference
Hey CL,
Is there a way to adjust the caster on the rear of an LS430? Mine is a 2002, non UL. So its coil on spring. I notice the rears rub and its all on the dog leg area (front area) of the rear fender. so it seems the rear is pulling closer towards the front. Is there anything that would center the wheel or bring the wheel more towards the center of the rear fender? Before you clown me, i have been doing extensive research for weeks now, with no luck, and now I am wanting to install suspension on the car, but want to resolve this issue prior to going lower.
I do not know if it is coincidental or not, but all images I find of 04+ never have this issue, seems to be 01-03? All / any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks CL!

Hey Tony, Have you had an alignment done on your car to see if its within spec? I have an 02 lowered on coil-overs with with about a 1 finger space gap on stock wheels. I have not installed my Megan Racing toe adjusters or camber arms yet and I don't have any rub issues as you describe. Only part I have installed are H&R Wheel Trak spacers in the front and rear, but no issues with those.

Thanks for your responses guys!! I have gotten an alignment before, but they said everything was in spec, and I was under the assumption that there isn't much adjustablility in factory form? Also, when I had the factory wheels on, it wasn't too noticeable, but now I have 21" wheels in the rear, it is way noticeable and I feel if I go any lower i will run into issues.
My goal is to have a nice subtle stance with this setup, but would rather not trim if I don't have to.
20x10 +20 front
21x11 +30 rear
