Default alignment issues

the rear alignment of my gs seems to be off so I went to get it realigned. The guy told me I had a bolt which was stripped, and needed replaced. I asked him to be more specific and he said the allignment bolt. ??? I ask someone where, which bolt could that be. It was in the rear of the vehicle.

It is one of those bolts they twist and turn for the computer to read the correct alignment. Not sure which bolt it is cuz I don't know much. I seen the guy do my car and while he wrenches the bolt, he looks at the computer screens and see if he hit the correct alignment.

I had a camber bolt go bad on my AWD RX300 once, but that was on the front.

As far as I know, they only play around on the front part of the vehicle. There are some ways to tighten some bolts on the rear of the vehicle, but I rarely see that done anymore.

Everytime car goes in for an alignment they have to adjust both the front and the rear. If it's just a bolt, it shouldn't cost much to fix.
