Default Wheel Aligment on stock 04 with 20'' wheels

Ok, not sure if this is something that has been talked about already with all the tire issues that these cars have. I have a 2004 350z touring stock height with 20'' wheels, car pulls to the right as soon as I let go of the steering wheel, So i say wheel aligment time so I take it over to the local Nissan dealership in Fort Myers Fl. And I have it done, so it's ok for a week then it starts back up. So I take it back to the dealership to have them check it out,service tech put's it back on the rack and re-checks it, and it's all out of wack..front and rear toe out of spec's rear camber out so i think WTF is wrong with this picture...
Service adviser pulls me aside and tells me he needs to order a compression rod for the right front, I ask if it's broken or damage? he say's no there was a servise bulletin to correct this. Ok part comes in, I take my car back in for installation and re-allignment at this time I ask for a print out and this is what i get, Please keep in mind my car has not been in any type of accident or hit any pot holes hard note on my last allingment at this location front pass side camber was -1.7 and this was 2 months ago what could it be done at same location with the same service rep..only thing that was change was the comprssion rod was this a good move?

done on 7/18/07
front driver's side Front pass side
camber -1.4 / -2.5
caster 9.1 / 10.01
toe 0.04 / 0.05


rear driver's side rear pass side

camber -1.7 / -2.0
toe 0.08 / 0.09

You need to shrink your rims at least 18'4". That should fix it.

He's made an attempt at sarcasm. 20' is 20 feet. 20" is 20 inches.

The compression rod TSB was for 2003 Zs if I remember correctly, it shouldn't have been a problem on the 2004s.
