Hard to read without translation, but from what I can tell from the picture that the chamber is way way off. I dont think its due to an accident! Is the car lowered at all? Theres way too much negative chamber, Or you have some bad suspension bushings/ball joint/tie rods etc.

I would have a take it to a good alignment shop, perferably with latest hunter alignment rack. Have them inspect the whole suspension, with pry bars woggle parts and look for slop.

If you keep it at this setup you will destroy tires

Thanks for reply, i searched for latest hunter alignment rack and actually the auto service used the one i see on google images also it costs was 65 euro. i dont know at all if it was lowered, i will try to search another service to check all components. should i visit lexus's service and how much can it cost?

Take it to toyota dealership maybe there prices are better. But ask for them to inspect the suspension bushings in the front and back. Make sure the tech grabs a pry bar wiggles the suspension parts and look for obvious movement. It doesnt take much time! You dont need to pay for an alignment just ask them to inspect the bushings, that way if you do find a bad part you can fix it and then realign the car so you dont pay for an alignment.
