I am honestly over the situation. I did track the car on these toyo r888r a few months back.. the rear was a new set and front were from previous set that I had. Im thinking the front has alot of uneven wear maybe pulling it around at higher speeds. Im gonna put 4 new tires OEM setup and report back... here goes a couple thousand... I really hope its the tires.

..... if your tires are worn unevenly they you cant expect the the car to drive straight, no matter what.
I dont love the negative camber setup, as I indicated in my earlier post (#11), since your issue is the car wanders at speed. Google the word "tramlining" and decide if you think that's what the car is doing, because if it is, then you may be going back to the alignment shop. Again though, if the front tires are worn unevenly, then they have to go.

Issue resolved. Somehow the rear trailing arms bolts were real loose on the driver side. Tightened and realigned and back to normal

Yes ! I dont know how that could have gotten loose. The dealer did drop the rear end once to work on the trans. BEWARE of the dealership techs. Def gonna go over the rest later. This was done maybe 8 months ago or so. Prob was just loose and loosened up over time with driving.
