Adjusting rear camber on 3IS AWD
I have a 2014 IS250 AWD having about -2.5 deg rear camber.
I would like to reduce it to -0.5 to zero range. No factory adjustment provided.
Decided to try shimming the wheel bearing in situ. Calculated shim thickness needed.
(Many years ago I have done this adjustment very successfully on my Audi A6.)
Loosened the 4 socket head cap screws holding the WB to the Knuckle about 3 turns.
But could not dislodge, loosen the WB to insert shims.
It must be corroded into or a press fit in the knuckle.
I gave up, not worth the effort unless one were replacing the WB.
Any ideas on loosening the WB from the Knuckle in situ?
Just thought of how I might have broken the WB free of the knuckle.
With the 4 socket head cap screws holding the WB to the Knuckle loose by about 3 turns.
I should have used them to drive the WB out of, away from the knuckle by
hammering on their heads with a suitable punch and hammer.
Next time!
