IS300 - Fitting Adjustable Rear Toe Arms

Looks like I'm replacing the entire suspension setup front and rear! xD
Oh well. It will be worth it in the end. It is ONLY surface rust so structurally, the car is absolutely fine... for now!

Just installed nearly identical Megan Racing rear toe arms, and I can confirm that you can remove and reinstall the adjustment bolts without removing the adjacent brackets once you have the ball joint unseated.

No you can't stop lying

[@jfnonyt]

I love how thorough your videos are, cheers for that!

[@shizukesajdm]

You're absolutely welcome! This is why I do it! 👍

[@deimosphob]

I'm so glad I live in a place with no snow, barely any rain, etc. Only problem we have is faded paint, and cracked dashboards.

[@shizukesajdm]

I’d rather deal with that than rust :( I won’t be sticking around in the UK for many more years that’s for sure!

[@BenPaines]

Learn so much every video even though I don’t have a Lexus! 😅

[@shizukesajdm]

Thanks for watching man! 😃🙏🏻

hey bro been watching vids for a min just wanted to say that you're doing gods work !! appreciate the quality of the vids ! keep it up

[@shizukesajdm]

I really appreciate that. I do my best! I’ve got a lot going on right now but I do have some videos filmed, they’re just not edited. LS400 calliper conversion is complete! 🙏🏻

[@Los2g]

Just got a 2005 is300 in Savannah metallic with bronze rim’s definitely unique, but your videos are masterpieces and very helpful thank you sir

[@shizukesajdm]

You’re absolutely welcome! Enjoy the car, sounds awesome! ☺️ If you have any questions, just fire away anytime!

Oh man you alife! Nice wideo waiting for more👍

[@apachesmokemachining6487]

Great video as always mate,

[@shizukesajdm]

Thanks! I try 😋 thanks for watching!

[@paul--b]

Damn..salting roads is a bummer. I have the exact same car, down to the colour in NZ. Not a spec of rust on it.

[@shizukesajdm]

Yep… could also be from the coastline. But yeah they salt the roads here even though the winters are super mild 😅

[@br_blankface]

Marvelous... Informative and funny.

[@shizukesajdm]

Glad you enjoyed it! ✌🏻😊

[@menetorres]

hey man, love your videos! they're the best out there for IS300, thanks so much for the detailed steps! I saw that you plan to replace all suspension arms on an upcoming video, looking forward to that! I've just bought Mega Racing rear arms, removed all the rusted oem ones, and was wondering if there's ANY way to install the new arms without removing the sub frame. Thoughts? thanks!

[@shizukesajdm]

Hey man! Thanks so much for the kind words! 🙏🏻 I’m honestly not sure. Which arms? Upper or lower? I assume you mean Megan? Chassis and suspension is next on my list… I literally just finished the manual swap today! 😋

[@menetorres]

@@shizukesajdm yep, Megan. Both lower and upper. Will give it a shot without removing the subframe. I’ll be learning from your manual swap, would love to do the same here. Cheers!

[@shizukesajdm]

@@menetorres 1. I doubt you have to remove the subframe 🤔 2. The manual swap is complete! Check my Instagram and you’ll see! 😋 Videos coming in the following weeks!

[@brandonstrand5971]

Hey buddy where is the turbo kit install videos?

[@shizukesajdm]

There’s so much more to come before that. Manual swap first 👍🏻 follow my Instagram for updates! 😊

[@chopped4life315]

Love the videos. Just a quick question hopefully you can help out. I am about buying an IS 200 for a beginner drift car but where I am only have autos. Can the auto drift or is the manual the only way? Thanks!

[@shizukesajdm]

Glad you enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching! The auto absolutely won't drift. You should ALWAYS opt for a manual for drifting. No exceptions. Good luck! 👍

[@chopped4life315]

@@shizukesajdm Cheers mate will go for the manual. Just hoping one comes up for the right price :)

[@shizukesajdm]

@@chopped4life315 They’re only getting more expensive so don’t wait too long :)

[@dackbowland1876]

Do you need the cam bolts if it’s adjustable? I wouldn’t have thought so…?!

[@shizukesajdm]

Nah, but I just wanted OEM parts :)

[@1uzpete]

wait so you need to buy extra parts when getting these arms? this goes for any car??

[@shizukesajdm]

I only did so because my OEM bolts were old and worn! :)

[@moeezsaleem7072]

Thank you!!!

[@shizukesajdm]

You’re welcome! ✌🏻

[@Takeflight99]

Hey everyone I’m here again I got my Lexus IS 300 2004 only issue I’ve found is that some lights on the dashboard don’t work like there’s no high beam light on dashboard and the right turn light on the dashboard light up any solutions?

[@shizukesajdm]

Check out my Dash LED video. There’ll be some other bulbs you’ll have to replace.

[@Takeflight99]

@@shizukesajdm I just watched the video but I didn’t see the high beam light indicator in the dashboard in your video

[@shizukesajdm]

@@Takeflight99 I know, it’s just so you know where to look. Check your manual for the diagram on where each light is. Find an electrical drawing.

[@Takeflight99]

@@shizukesajdm ok but is there high a beam light on the dashboard

[@tnutss]

Did you do a rear camber kit as well to help with lowered ride height?

[@shizukesajdm]

Nope.

[@Takeflight99]

Hey is it ok to use regular gas in the Lexus I just got a Lexus IS 300 2004 and was wondering if I can use regular gas

[@shizukesajdm]

I really really wouldn’t. The rule should generally be “If you can’t afford the fuel for the car, you can’t afford the car” 🤷🏻‍♂️ use lower octane at your own risk.

[@carlbrooks90]

If you can't afford the gas just buy a Corolla 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@twilliams4629]

is the lower control arm bolt for camber adjustment of just that toe arm?

[@shizukesajdm]

I’m not sure I understand your question, can you rephrase?

[@twilliams4629]

@@shizukesajdm the bottom rear arm that holds the base of the shock absorber there is an adjustable camber bolt there is that just for camber or caster as well?

[@shizukesajdm]

@@twilliams4629 Oh! Just camber 👍🏻

I believe jack stands is correct in British English, and axle stands is American English.

[@Los2g]

I can confirm we say jack stands as well

[@shizukesajdm]

It does seem that way. I just thought I was saying it wrong all these years haha

[@justinrogers3690]

No Americans say jack stands also

[@paul--b]

@@justinrogers3690 yeah, either I had it backwards or they are interchangeable terms.

[@BoostedHamzExtra]

Nice video bro! We should do a collab one day 😉

[@shizukesajdm]

Maybe in the future! :) thanks for watching man! Give that IS200 some care! 👍🏻

[@theunicahijaph]

Man, the number of times I went "😏" is embarrassing HAHA So I guess we're still doing phrasing? 😄

Jack stands is the correct term lol

I’ve only ever heard them referred to as axle stands in the uk 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s really not. Merely surface rust.
