What is adjustable alignment wise on a 06 GS 430 Rear Wheel Drive?

Camber? Front? Rear?

Caster? Front? Rear?

I’m seeing conflicting statements. I have heard from a few that say Camber is adjustable.
Dealer told be only Toe on this car can be adjusted without addition of hardware.
Anyone have a manual for this car that has the details?
Thanks

I just took my car to a reputable alignment shop here in Southern California (West End Alignments). He stated that only the toe can be adjusted.

I don't know if this is in the manual or not.

i also go to west end for alignment. unless someone else can prove otherwise, i don't think camber is adjustable on this car at all. toe is adjustable. that's why darin said he couldn't do anything about the camber so he adjusted the toe to compensate the wear

and west end is easily one of the best alignment shops out there

agreed, i had a 4 wheel alignment done by a reputable speed shop last week. according to the tech, camber can't be adjusted, only toe.
