That looks off, and the bolts look new.

Those were the bolts on my GX470 that were not correctly torqued twice and it caused the alignment to shift.

FWIW
 
These are the two cams from the left front LCA rear point and right front LCA rear point. Is there a valid reason for them to be so different?

because that's how it works. in a perfect world they would match but that's not really how reality works. from those positions there is tons of adjustment. did the last place get you squared away?
what's the new printout look like?
 
does it track correctly or is it still pushing to the right ?
Only put about 30 miles on it. It seems better but holding steering wheel straight still goes right even though I personally centered the steering wheel when they did the alignment. I will try adjusting the toe links myself to get it straight and then see.
 
Per those numbers, the vehicle will have a drift to the right on a crowned road. I would set both front cambers at 0° and dial in a 0.5° caster difference with right side being higher, i.e. left 3.2°, right 3.7°.
 
The steering on these prados brings me back to my first car. 66 mustang and man that steering kept me busy as a teenager. My can am spider I used to have was really bad as the front tires rode in the sunk in road and the rear tire was higher on the crown, all you could do was steer to the left or right because the rear was higher you lost the caster and it was kind of scary at first.
My latest alignment from a family owned shop. He told me he has the caster maxed out before loosing the camber numbers. Pa roads are bad then the farm roads are really bad, all they do now is tar and chip so they will never be flat again.

I installed adjustable rear LCA's to correct the thrust issue and had it realigned at the same shop. They were able to but could not provide me a report because of the adjustable rear LCA's the hunter computer would not allow a printout. This is ridiculous.

I drove it on a 12 hour road trip and it pulled hard right on right crowned lanes (99% of driving). On left crown it tracked straight. I am back to square one and need to find a shop that can set custom specs and is comfortable enough with letting me see them do it.
