Default alignment for my '07 RX350

Hi everyone,

Long time reader, first time writer. My 07 RX350 has about 107,000 miles and I just got a new set of tires and 4wheel alignment. When I picked up my car, the tire store told me that the alignments are adjusted and are within spec , but they recommend front and rear camber bolts to correct negative camber. I read somewhere in the forum that RX350's don't have camber adjustments, so is it okay to get this camber bolts installed?

Also, I noticed that now the car is drifting to the right. When I went back to the tire store they switched front tires side to side, but when I was going home I notice that its still drifting to right.

I've attached alignment results for review, thanks in advance for any advise.

The Camber Bolts are after market bolts which allow slight shift in the camber angle. These bolts are placed through the strut where it bolts to the knuckle and allow the knuckle angle to be slightly adjusted thus changing your camber. These are common in certain vehicles and can actually be helpful. However, if you have someone installing them that does not know what they are doing, they can tear up tires if they are improperly installed.
