Angry allignment problems!!

First of all its an 02 GS430....stock


About the a month ago I had to fix the allignment for the steering.
What I mean by this is to steer it straight the wheel would be tilted a few degrees to the left or right.

A month later its back!!! Its not as bad, but is there.

My first conclusion is my driveway.
Its an offcamber on a turn thats fairly steep...

I just moved to this house and it took about 5 months for me to notice the bad allignmet. Could that have anything to do with it?

Thanks for your help...I hope you understand this!

Do u have the 17s? B/C with bigger wheels and low profile tires, the car just gets knocked out of alignement easier than a car with 15" rims with a huge rubber sidewall. This is not uncommon for the GS.

yes I have 17's.

These arnt even that low profile though. Their 235/45/17.
Thats big sidewall compared to most cars now!

Still my allignment should not go bad after a couple weeks of being fixed!

45 series begins low profile. Hitting a simple pothole can knock it off, knock a weight off and screw the alignment.
