Rear Camber 2004 RX330 AWD
I recently changed my tires and had an alignment done.
Was told the right rear camber was off: -1.9 deg (spec -1.6 to -0.1 deg)
Was also told that camber adjustment is not available on this car.
What are the implications of this camber problem? Do I need to rotate the tires more frequently?
There are some 3rd party rear camber adjustment bolts available for ~$25. Would installing these fix the problem?
Thanks in advance!

Assuming you have one of the the stock tire and wheel sizes installed...
Definitely something you should have addressed. Tires would wear out uneven. Also, being out of spec like this means you possibly have worn struts, weak springs, something bent or the like. Would not have come from the factory like that. Has your RX been in an accident?
Tire Rack, for example, has the camber adjustment bolts for your AWD. However, I would be curious to rule out other problems as to why you are out of adjustment before installing. If things check out then it would not hurt to have those installed.
