please print out your alignment sheets and make sure your toe is close to zero for the fronts.

you will also want to look at this https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...eo-inside.html

check the thread below for alignment

Looks like that inside edge is rubbing on something. This is a stock setup?

YOu should be able to crank the wheel all the way over and see what the tire is rubbing on. That doesn't look like street wear.

after you mentioned it that's what I did , looked behind the wheel on both sides , everything looks good , no sign of wear what so ever, every plastic, metal etc looks new... so it is definitely something else

So my result so far yesterday came in shop Forman came for a drive with me to check if it was pulling.
Came back they told me to leave the car got a Nissan Altima as a loner that's about the only disappointment so far
At 5pm got a phone call from my rep and she said there going to have to order a few parts and if I was ok to leave the car for the rest of the week so hopefully when I get it back it will be all done with.

I'm wondering if I could take te Nissan back and get a lexus...

Please let me know if the shop you're taking it to fixes the right pull issue, and what was replaced.

I have taken the 2011 ISF twice to West End in Southern CA (subframe moved + alignment on the 2nd time), 3 times to the dealer (they only set it to the "green" zone), and still have a heavy pull to the right.

Have right pull issue from purchase: on the original OEM PS2 tires, on brand new PSS at all 4 corners, swapped front side to side, nothing helps....

Everyone is saying "radial pull" but I don't buy that....

Thanks in advance....

Yes it does. It looks like a whole lot of other IS's. Inside edge wear on the front is well known and documented on the F forum and the 2IS forum here at Club Lexus. Check the threads Evil Teo linked. There's a lot to be learned there.

Sad to say, but this is not unusual at all for any 2IS.

Post your alignment sheet. That will tell most everything. "Radial pull" just means they don't really know what is wrong.
