lol! You're just trying to be a post whore again!:lol:

OK, I'll try to remember the wheel alignment settings to minimise the toe-out scrubbing so common on the Lexus. The best defence is regular checking of the inside tread depth while the front wheels are on full lock!

See the wheel alignment info here-

I reckon guys, trying to get the post numbers up! Do altezza's have adjustable camber settings, im thinking about some adjustable soon or in the next couple of months to achieve a under the guard/close to the guard look!

Hell yes!! Front & rear!!

Neg3 deg all round!!!

These are the suspension points you must lubricate BEFORE taking the car for an alignment. The little cams that alter the camber seize up and the washer shears off, then no more camber adjustment ever! You really have to watch the guy doing it to make sure he does it properly. Most of them are just jocks!

oh no, I hope mine are alright! I've only had one alignemnt when I got my new mags, doesnt seem to be to much inside tow anymore!

well just got a wheel alignment done last week

he adjusted the lil cams no problems :) and i didnt even grease them up before hand coz i couldnt get on teh net to see coz my internet was down for 2 days

but the thing is my cars very low now and still have -2.5 degrees camber on rear and he managed to get the fronts down to about -1.3 degrees at teh front with about 0.9 toe in

Does it track OK over bumps or 'tramline' along edges and bumpsteer Spanky??

How's the turn-in and the cornering power??

keep an eye on the inner treads at the front & let us know in a month or two-

it drives ok

i put 34 psi in all teh wheels and u can feel the rd but doesnt worry me

i think ur'd have worry more on the rear with it being more camber and the driving wheels

theyre wearen out at teh mo :(

cornering is ok :) i had to raise the front coz it was hitting the gaurds
the rear still sways a little in the rear hard cornering but im not racing it so wont worry
i suppose u would need bigger sways

and if u have 18x8" wheels and u want the wheels to sit nicely under the guards u DO have to roll the rear gaurds :( haha

well don t i wish i read this thread a month and a half ago!!!!! Guys please check the car for the tire wear on the inside!!! i didnt and i got burned!!

the inside of my right tire is worn and my left was well on its way there. i have only had the car 2 months and its only 2 years old. its been fixed now but i will have to look at getting new tyres mid year!!!! if you want to save $$$$ keep a close eye on them. cant believe they sold me the car with no wheel allignment.

the funniest thing is is that the car car was driving perfect and you dont realise it until you look at the tyres!!

Greeneyes do you have a pic of the suspension points so i know what has to be done at the next wheel allignment??

The photo of the rear suspension in this post here

shows the camber adjusting washer on the rear suspension.

You loosen off the nut and turn the bolt&washer to adjust camber.

One way you turn it, the weight of the car helps it move, but the other way means you must lift the weight of the car. This is when there is a chance of stripping the washer and losing all adjustment forever.

The other thing to watch is the amount of toe-in they give the front wheels. Make sure they give it the toe-in half of the range. The factory specs are 0.05' +/- 0.05', so anything from 0.05' to 0.10' would be better than 0.00 to 0.05'.

I think they go to -ve toe under braking (toe-out) which scrubs off the inside treads.
