Default Alignment Specs

Hello,
I am about to get some 90 Duro FIGS LCA bushings (inner tire wear) installed and from my understanding I would need to get an alignment afterwards. Before I go ahead and get everything done I wanted to check and see what the alignments specs should be so that I can double check the shop's work. My car is completely stock in terms of suspension (no spacers, no lowering springs/coil overs, no aftermarket wheels, etc...) and I am on the OEM F-Sport rims and on stock tire sizes. The only "mod" would be the new LCA bushings but that's it. Any insight would be appreciated!

No alignment needed as it doesn’t affect toe or camber. Install and drive. You can do one if you haven’t done one in years.

oh okay, I didn't know that. I had some people tell me that I would need one. Thank you! Though, if anyone still has the specs I'd appreciate it for reference.

I did alignment when I installed mine. I guess I did it because I installed my RSR springs and FIG LCA bushing at the same time. Waited a week till my car got settled and did the alignment. I would still do it though.

This is what I found before.

Lexus Specs 2017: AWD Front: +0.05 (toe-in) AWD/RWD Rear: +0.18 (toe-in)

AWD Factory Camber Specs Front -0.48 +/-0.75 (Max: -1.23) Rear -1.63 +/-0.75 (Max: -2.38)

@Nabil3IS What model is your IS? i have a 21 F sport RWD all stock, and i have inner tire wear. can you share the Figs bushing part number you got? My Mechanic is skeptic about the alignment working but i saw in the post below that it does not affect alignment.

It technically shouldn't affect your alignment, but its not a bad idea to have one done afterwords anyways.

@Pittsy do you have a gen 3 ? Did you do it on yours? All the videos online are on older models.

These are the LCA Bushings I got. But they REQUIRE a bearing press to be installed. These aren't just bolt-on. These are the bolt-on versions.
