What’s up CL! My front camber is barely in spec and it’s causing some uneven tire wear and I feel the car not being as stable over uneven surfaces. My mechanic said something about replacing or buying these bolts as the camber is only adjustable in the rear of this car. Does anyone know what these bolts are. Point me in the right direction please. Thanks in advance

Model Year? Trim level? I had my 2018 aligned by Grismer (chain tire shop) after they said they could do it. Afterward, when I got the report and the bill, they said all wheels were in spec except the passenger side rear wheel which was really close but had "reached the limit of available adjustment". $149.00. I had to have it re-aligned at Lexus a few months later, and they put it fully in spec. Upon checking the pricing, there was $1 difference between the Grismer price and the Lexus dealer price. Be smart, have Lexus do it.

I wouldn’t necessarily say going to the Lexus dealer is being smart but thanks. It’s a 2017 F sport AWD. Most reputable tire shops that specialize in alignment are better then Lexus dealers. There is a bolt that has to be replaced it’s not because the Lexus dealer can magically align it when they can’t.

camber bolts or eccentric bolts, are what they are referred to. they are offset bolt, thinner and thicker in areas, and as they rotate, they allow the upper spindle bolt to change position. the spindle needs to move in and out at the top to adjust the camber,
they have been around for a ton of years, definitely nothing new. I have installed tons and tons of them as I spun wrenches as an ase master mechanic for 25 years.
the image is just a random internet image of what the bolts look like, they may not, and probably are not the exact product for your vehicle. (sorry, had to add that for some here, lol)
hope this helps.
