Find a shop with a Hunter 9700 and you will not be disappointed.

I too have a RX that is pulling to the right. After I read your post I took mine to the local Lexus dealer this morning to check the alignment. I explained to him I thought it was more than just crown of the road causing the pull, I could be in the left hand lane of a divided hwy. it would actually climb the crown. He came back to me after a while and said, it was the tires, he said they would be glad to perform an alignment but it would be a waist of money, his suggestion was to rotate the tires, until I get ready to buy a new set, I agreed. It did help. I guess I'll be saving up for a set of Michelins.

An update,after visiting toyota dealr again they said as above,rotate tires car was driving better,I was checking the wheel lock ,I hide it in the car ,I can say they never touched it because they never asked me where is the lock,and discovered that they put 45 psi in the front passanger tire while all the other tires are 35 as I checked them myself.I didnot have chance to speak to them yet.

I ALWAYS recheck the tire air pressure when the car is cold, the next morning, after someone fools with it. It's amazing what variation I see.
