Default Alignment '00 vs. '05

Sorry to keep posting, I've searched around and can't find anything to help me out. I got my car aligned (partially, supposedly the left side cambers are frozen so...) and I realized after looking at the paper work they did it as an '05, my car is an '00. Are the alignment/balancing specs the same for an '00 and '05 or at least different enough to cause damage?

Yes, alignment specs are the same. Balancing is dependent on your wheels and tires - not model year.

When they said "cambers are Frozen" they probably meant that the adjustment nut was stuck.

Ahhh. Thanks so much, not to sound cheap but i am trying to get Toyota dealer quotes because Lexus wants $1,200 to replace 2 $60 dollar parts, with labor it's 10 times the cost of the parts. I hope it's just a nut cuz that shouldn't cost much either...
