rear caster adjustment LS430

Is there a way to adjust the caster on the rear of an LS430?  I notice when i ride low, 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.  i heard there was a spacer kit that would center the wheel or bring the wheel more towards the center of the rear fender.  anyone know if a kit exists whether it be a spacer or an adjustment arm?  i noticed that the thread area of my tire is getting tore up when the rear rubs.

There is no caster in the rear because the rear tires don't turn.. I don't think there is much you an do, suspension wise, to fix your problem. Through suspension travel, the suspension is designed to camber in, and either toe in/out depending. In your case, when you ride low, your tires camber in and ir sounds like your your tires toe out. Ill check our alignment computer for pictures and see if there is any solution to your problem... did you get your car aligned at at you current ride height?

I just checked out a blown up illustration on the rear suspension of an LS430 and the only way I see, that you can adjust, or move the rear tire more centered in the wheel openning is finding an adjustable rear strut rod. Its the only rear arm that is parallel with the length of the vehicle. Id recommend finding an extra stock set and try playing with that. You'd have to extend that arm. Ill scan and post up pictures of what im talking about when I get done with work, if there is confusion.

I'm pretty sure its toeing in when you ride lower. This might be the cause of the rubbing. You should try get the car re-aligned at your lowest drive height.

dan.......... shh...... jk, but he stated that when he rides low, the tire rubs the dog leg area... thats the small portion right in front of the rear tire. if thats te case, its toeing out. if it were to toe in at a lower ride height, the tire would rub the rear bumper....

Oh well i guess i  was mistaken,  but i thought Toe-in means that the fronts of the tires are closer to each other than the rear of the tire. My car use to rub the dog leg area too but then I re aligned to ride low.

dan........ ill see you tomorrow..... and get my quote!!!!

yah yah ray im working on it

no...didn't get my car aligned at current ride height.  gotta do that yet.  

so when i lower my car, it toes out?  

you think these arms have anything to do w/ spacing it to the center?

 Those arms on the top LOOK like the ones in talking about cuz it has the tab for the sensor... I say it looks like I, you gotta check the end mounts to see if they match the ones on your car... but id recommend getting it aligned first, at your ride height. Once you do that, it shouldn't rub when you rid low...   Man, your tire must be all eaten up ah...?

ITS  weird but its tearing up the top thread of my tire...not the sides.  but more towards the side wall...but still on the tread. haha...im confused myself.  yeah, i guess i'll get it aligned.  any recommendations where they won't rape me a new a**hole to align?

I took my car to island brake , If i remember correctly they charged me $90 to align em. Just take em to mista808 and ask for the "homie" hookup.

IF you got the lower control arm and toe arm you should be set to align it cherry.

 That's me.... its just a matter of getting your car on the rack without bussin' up your kit, unless you take it off... once its on, lower your car to the desired ride height, mount the sensors, and do work son...
