Rear Rear Toe Adjuster Seized?

[kittnut]

So after getting the car back on the road, last night was time to get the car fully tracked. Every parameter on all four corners was off. Most of the car is back pointing in the right direction but the mecahnic said he could not adjust the toe on the right rear saying the toe adjuster was seized.

Does that really happen or was I being spun a tale? I guess I'd be looking at getting the part from Toyota unless someone differently???

The other thing not realigned was the front left caster....but the mechanic didn't say anything about that end?

Cheers

yeah you'll need to get an new adjust bolt, possibly the plate also

48409-32040 Toe adjusting bolt

48452-32040 Toe adjusting plate

front caster is not adjustble, if it is out of bounds, it is possible that some suspension components are worn out or damaged.

Thanks. The car had a side on impact so most of the left front was rebuilt with parts salvaged from scrap yards. Its off by 1 degree if I'm reading the balance sheet correctly. The right one is at 2 degrees 15 and the left is on 3 degrees 15. Mechanic says you may experience the car pulling to one side but nothing really obvious at the moment.

I'll get the rear toe adjuster sorted first then see if it still feels off.
