Default Need Help!! Just got alignment done my IS350 F Sport

See below

I was told that SAI is not adjustable and that my SAI on my left wheel is out of spec.
1. If so is one of my control arm bent or any other parts?
2. is it out of spec since Lexus used 2013 IS 350 alignment spec.
3. if somethig is bent the SAI is barely out of spec, is it even worth it to replace any parts or will it have any adverse effects later on?

Cross SAI is completely out of spec, specified range is -.5 to .5 but my cross SAI is 1.1, wll there be any problems??

If you look at the alignment sheet, there are others completely out of spec, im kind of worried. I did hit a small pot hole, I wonder if that caused all this.

First I want to say that I'm no mechanic in or out of the shop. I only have a very basic understanding of cars.

I think for SAI to be off you must have a part somewhere that has been compromised. Since your Camber is off that makes sense since both go kind of hand in hand. I suppose it could give been caused by a pothole but would have to have been a pretty bad pothole at high speed.

The car will probably feel a pull at lower speeds, it won't feel like you are going straight when you let the steering wheel go, and tire wear will be uneven. The tire wear should be your worst enemy though I'll let someone who actually knows what they're talking about field that.

Cross SAI is way off, is it even safe to drive. Do you guys know what can be damaged if SAI is way off? Will Lexus fix it under warranty since i have only 1000 miles on it?
