Only the AWD has a camber adjustment. All the RWD platforms do not.

There's also a 'lexus owners club' site, but it has much less usage than this one.

I also wore my inside tires but the adjuster changed mine from toe-in to out. hmmm.? And yeah the guy doesn't know why it wore out.
I still have my orig tires though w/ 10.5 K mi. Figured still ok for at least another 5K mi.

Correction: I have not worn out my tires yet. What I meant was uneven tire wear. Wearing more on the inside.

I already thought of that. The subframes are different. A camber kit would require some work on the existing subframe to retrofit the camber adjustment cams. It's on my list of things to solve when I move into my new house next month (it will have a lift in the garage.) I'm thinking I'll have a clear picture of how to skin that cat by January (lots of honey-dos for the new house come first.)
