Pulling Right
By the way- how do you, for a car of this expense, tolerate this constant tracking to the right of a supposed luxury car. His 2004 did the same thing as the 11 does and drift to the right. My assumption is that it deals with the camber adjustment which due to the uniqueness of it. My understanding is that Camber adjustment is not a part of a normal alignment on these cars because it adjusts by replacing the frame mounted brackets that hold the upper control arms. That's a separate parts and labor thing. The low left side camber could also be caused by bad bushings on those upper control arms, a fairly common problem..
What is your experience? Wheels and tires and alignment have all been done with no change.

Also wanted to add a bit more background. The dealer replaced my knuckles because my lower ball joints were messed up. And to replace the knuckle you have to remove the forward control arm with it. Apparently they damaged the control arms trying replace the knuckle and did not tell me about it. But i did notice the slight pull right after picking up my car. I at first thought it was just a bad alignment. Fast forward a couple months and finding a good Indy fixed my problem. Oh and I eventually had both forward control arms replaced.

None of my 4 Lexus LS sedans had any issues with tracking or pulling one way or another.
