Default Adjustment rear camber



Hi, I just got my NX200t few weeks ago, but now I Recognize that the rear driver side camber is way to bad. Should I bring it back to dealership for readjustment alignment or is it just a factory common problem so I have to purchase a new aftermarket camber kit?

Yes that's why I think it's impossible for rear camber adjustment in FWD Lexus late models

It's designed like that so while it looks bad it does what it is for.

The rear lower arm is held by an eccentric bolt to the chassis. I was able to have my rear camber zeroed out by having the guys at the shop I went to turn it.

EDIT: BUT since slight camber doesn't cause much tire wear as long as toe is in check, it'd be safer to keep it untouched and have the rear end grip more than the front, unless you do a lot of spirited driving.

Yeah. I mentioned this to my SA at my 10K service and he did NOTHING (It is designed like that). Even though I am AWD I still have a slight negative camber....

This is not a good picture, but it's the only one convenient at the moment. The front wheels are facing square forward and have camber set to -1.3*. You can see rear camber way more upright and zeroed. I have an AWD as well.

Pretty obvious difference between front and rear from the picture....

But what's with the two big lights on your grill? I'm guessing that if you're not using them to "spotlight" animals, you must be driving in some pretty dark and remote areas.

Most Philippine highways don't have street lamps, unfortunately. Public utility buses on the highway weave in and out and stop abruptly in the middle of two lanes to pick up/drop off passengers, without giving a rat's *** about motorists behind them. Ah, you get the picture. I need all the visibility I can get. Worry not, I use them responsibly.
