Default Could u look at my wheel alignment result sheet?

I got my GS (2013, base RWD) aligned yesterday from the local tire shop. But when I see the result sheet it seems that rear right Camber didn't aligned and out of spec?
And I am still having slight pulling to the right. Should I revisit them to realignment?

What did they tell you was the reason they thought the RR Camber was outside of specs?

Have you changed springs or any other suspension parts on the car? How about the wheels - stock or aftermarket? If aftermarket, what size? Any wrecks, or damage?

Ok I was in a similar situation and I took my car to a reputable frame and alignment shop and after doing the alignment the car was still pulling towards the right side but since they were specialist on the frames also they used some machine and fixed the alignment as I know when I bought my car the right front wheel was bent so I know something has have happened on the car. But now 400$ laters car is running straight as anything.

I'm rather confused. Your Lexus dealer aligned your car, but couldn't get it within specs...and they said nothing to you about it? Have you asked them why they couldn't align the car to within proper specs? If not, why not?

I don't know why I thought you went to Lexus to get the alignment. In this case, I wish you had.

Your local shop will probably tell you that the rear camber is not adjustable. However, 'if' you had gone to your Lexus dealership for the alignment then you could expect to get an answer as to why the RR camber is out of spec...since the Lexus dealership is responsible for having such answers for their customers whereas your local shop is not.

Your rear camber is only .2 degree out of spec. Your cross camber is in the middle and within spec. Def the car not pulling bc of the camber. Sometime pulling is because of the road surface nothing wrong with the car. In this case you are worring too much.

Also Lexus dealer is the same as local shop they cant give you any answer when your allignment is looking good as this.

The allignment is out of spec for lot of reason, and Lexus does not have to answer anything. If you want it to be fix pay the guy to fix it thats all. The camber is adjustable, and they actually did in this case look at the left camber number. Most car can beable to adjust if you bring it to a specialize shop. Some german car that required drilling holes so regular shops dont want to do it or have skill people to do it.

becareful with cross tire rotation because some tire is directional so you cant switch side.
