Hello,
I was doing a tire rotation on my 2002 GS300 (160K miles) and noticed that rear wheels have vertical play in them (grabbing the wheel on top and bottom and shaking it). After conducting further investigation I discovered that the play is generated by rear axle carrier bushings (on both wheels) responsible for camber adjustment (please see picture). I have looked all over the net but couldn’t find a replacement kit for these bushings the only once that I could find were for rear axle carrier trailing arm I believe. This camber adjustment bushing is not like the other once from what I can tell it has a more complex design from what it looks like involving dual shafts which are located one inside another. Anyway I was wondering if anyone can advice me on what to do as far as changing these and eliminating vertical play in my rear wheels (buying an axle carrier is my last option). THNAKS!
