PhantomV

i have had my 06 GS for almost a year now. I have never had a car that needed an alignment so frequently in my life. Every time i stop by Lexus for something minor or an oil change and such they always tell me i need an alignment.
i got an alignment done from them, then few weeks later stopped by for something else and they told me i needed another alignment what the hell is going on. my car slightly tracks to the right. it is always out of alignment when i take it to the firestone i go to also. when its aligned it drives well till a few days later when i feel it go out of alignment because it starts tracking to the right again. i installed the Figs #2 front LCA bushings to help with tire wear to see if this would help but still tracks. rear goes out of alignment bad.
i dont know what else i can do..part of me wants to sell her. anyone else have this alignment problem?

nope, bagged and my alignment still drives like day 1.

I was going to suggest taking to dealer.... have you asked them what's going on about it? and stressing to them it knocks out of alignment after 3 days?

Sounds like you may have a worn bushing somewhere.

PhantomV

if so, i wish i knew where, or how to tell

An experienced alignment shop can tell, by using leverage against the joints

Hey! I was wanting to know if you've found any resolve regarding your alignment issues.
I saw that you stated in your initial post that you installed an aftermarket bushing for tire wear, but your still out of alignment...
Any updates!?

I made a post about this too, I believe it is the caster arm bushings and I have the new ones from ROCA that I will be installing soon so I will report back - Two bolts and a nut per side so it should be quick to do.

For a little more than $100 it is definitely worth a shot.

Do an Alignment at the dealer they give you 1 year or 12k mile warranty on it.

I wonder if Toyota offers the same, as there alignments are much cheaper

They do. I go to Newark Toyota World around here and have never had an issue.

My car is dropped on BC-R+ coils with SPC front ball joints and SPC rear control arms. My car was taken to one of the best alignment shops around. It still pulls slightly to the right.

I balance and rotate my tires every 5,000 miles also...

It could be a tire pulling, I would rotate the right side wheels to the left.

I probably need new rims. I am sure one or two have been slightly bent after years of abuse.

If your car pulls it should be easily correctable with caster or toe settings.

The camber is not adjustable per se but can be achieved by loosening bolts and moving slightly.
