Anyone having camber alignment issues on the 2017 rx350? Had my dealer check alignment after installing new tires, and left with front right wheel being out of alignment with the camber. There is no Lexus dealer correction for this model. Who ever heard such a thing! Found that there is camber bolt sets available in aftermarket which will require installation cost and another alignment for a $20 part. Who’s had this same issue, and what needs to be done to correct. Tom.

 

Toyota / Lexus sell camber bolts that are cheaper and stronger than aftermarket. The factory bolts have some adjustment, but if you need more adjustment you may need 2-dot bolts, 3-dot is for extreme cases. Ask dealer if they properly set the camber by loosening knuckle-to-strut bolts and pushed the knuckle inward to remove positive camber. If they did not do this step, then they are making a mistake.

My camber issue is with the front right, at -1.4 degree, out of spec by -0.1. My OCD is getting the best of me. I can only find rear bolts available, none for the front. Please list the front camber bolt available numbers. The Lexus dealer left me with the comber out of spec and no options to correct. Let alone offering bolts to correct. Help needed. Hate to have to go get aftermarket bolts and another alignment cost. Feel the dealer should refund.

 

Being there is no alignment correction for camber on the 2017 Rx350, and other Rex models, what are your limits on excepting an alignment. I was told by my dealer that the rx350 is considered a sports car, therefore a high negative camber is built in and that is not adjustable unless, at my cost, add the adjustable camber bolts to correct any out of range camber alignment. Have you’ll seen any excessive tire wear on your vehicles caused by high negative camber?

 

Is this the same problem you had with post "Front Cam Bolts" ?

My concern is your dealer thinks an RX350 is a sports car.

I would try an alignment shop before that Dealer. Yes aftermarket bolts are required, but 0.1 degrees out is not an issue.

Good luck!

 

Your dealer is confused! An RX350 is an SUV, Sport Utility Vehicle, not a sports car. Geesh.

 

Take the car to a front end specialist. Camber problems are normally caused by worn or damaged suspension parts. Worn wheel bearings can also do it. Find a trustworthy alignment technician and get a second opinion. Don't go by what the silly dealer says.

 

Greetings, first time caller. I have not used this group's products but they have a fitment for RX's:

Since I already have paid for an alignment, with an “out of range” result, the dealer agreed to re-align after installing an adjustable camber bolt. Thought about going to a different alignment shop, but that would have been an additional expense and then fighting with the dealer for a refund. All good for now, within specs and with only additional expense was for the bolt.
