I have a 2011 IS350 F sport. Stock 18 inch wheels. Had to buy new front tires because the inside portion wore prematurely. Tires still looked great. Took my car to an wheel alignment shop and they told me that there are little or no adjustments for the front or rear alignment. Told me I had to buy adjustable ball joints for the front and new control alarms for the rear that could be adjusted. Is this true? Cost will be about $650 for everything. They also said if I didn't, my new front tires would prematurely wear too. How can Lexus make a car that had no adjustments for wheel alignment? Just wondering if anyone else encountered this problem. Thanks for your help!

Whoever told you that is trying to take your money, take it to a Lexus dealership they will do a wheel alignment somewhere around $150(Bay Area California pricing).I'f it's unadjustable they will let you know. Only thing I can think of is if something is damaged and they are unable to do it.

There is no Lexus dealer on my island in Hawaii so I think I will call another alignment shop to check . Thanks.

There is no camber adjustment front and rear on the is model. However I have seen the LF tire wear quicker than the RF. In this case you can adjust the front engine cradle to the right and that evens out the cross camber. There is toe adjustment front and rear. Hope that helps.
