That appears to be the right part, but it's difficult to tell without a view of the other end. From that angle, both the picture and illustration have the eye style end (the orientation in the illustration is backwards from the picture). Taking another picture from the other end would be helpful.
An item of interest is what appears to be another bracket in the center of the rod pointing upwards on the illustration. That part is absent from the picture. I'd suggest taking the picture and illustration to your local auto parts store and asking them, just to be sure.

It's not my LS... I dont have access to the car, all I got... The mechanic showed us on AllData that the arm in question is Number 1 or something. Sewell shows it as that one, but like you pointed out LSTex... It doesn't look like it 100%.
The right of the picture is the front of the car with the left of the picture being the rear. So this arm is forward of the axle. Was hoping someone could verify if the part circled on the diagram is the arm that is forward of the axle...

I think you're right, Shiryo. The one you circled looks like the only one on the diagram that could possibly match the picture. The arm below it in the picture also matches the arm below it in the diagram, so that's more confirmation. The missing bracket bothers me a little, but I'm about 90% confident that you have the right one.

Yeah, that missing bracket bothers me too... Running around on eBay, a lot of the auctions say they are interchangable on both sides... Wonder if this is true.

$100 from sewell. Posted up in the classifieds for one, hopefully someone chimes in...
Now that you mention it being the toe link... Would that bend be the cause of bad camber? The car has some massive negative camber as it is cruising. Guess we'll find out after it's replaced and aligned.

That bend is affecting toe not camber. Camber is adjustable on the LS400. Your tech should be able to get it back in spec as long as something else like the upper & or LCA isnt bent as well.

Yes, the picture and the selected part are correct. It is the toe adjusting arm, I would suggest also getting the cam and eccentric as well. If they are frozen in pace the tech is going to torch them off.

Would you happen to have part numbers on those parts? We're just looking to get the car sitting straight, seems to sit really crooked when driving. Also, when we looked at it up on a lift, both the rear and front wheels were sitting about an inch or so higher than the passenger side. Seems like a accident car, but we can't find any frame damage.
