Can anyone tell me the part number for the caster adjustment bolts? Apperently, all the dealers i call keep trying to sell me the camber bolts. one conversation went like this.

Salesman: "Parts department."
Me: "Hi, i have a 1996 Lexus GS300. im looking for the caster adjustment bolts or the tortion rod bolt."
Salesman: "Dont you mean camber bolt. Yes i..."
Me: "no i ment caster adjusment bolts."
Salesman: "One second..."
15 min hold...
Operator: "We are sorry the person your looking for is not avalible. please..."

pop latino,

Lol, dealership parts department employees more often times than not seem to be as knowledgeable of your Lexus as the homeless crack-head who defecates his pants in front of liquor stores I don't even bother consulting them for parts related questions due to this recurring scenario.

As for the part number for the caster adjustment bolts, I remember that the OEM caster adjust plate part number is 48191-30010. I can't exactly recall the bolt number off the top of my head..

I'd peruse this GS300 Front Axle Arm & Steering Knuckle Arm diagram and locate the caster adjust plate first (it's PNC # 48191B) then try to locate the corresponding adjustment bolt for it. I would do it for you but I'm at work right now so I have to make some concessions to productivity. Even if it IS Friday


Good luck man!
