Don't let them adjust for the crown in the road. If you do, you will have an ill handling car. Have them try to get it dead nuts on to spec. They have a low and high value. Have it set dead in the middle. With a road with a crown, you should have to steer left a little. If you let go of the wheel it will pull to the right just a touch. This is the way it is supposed to be. Once you find a good alignment guy, stick with him. They are hard to find. American made car folks try to adjust for the crown. That's fine on an American made car but not on a Nissan. You will have one ill handling darty piece of crap. Negative camber also throws them for a loop.

When I bought my used 2008 Nissan Maxima back in 2012 it drove like crap. Drove it in the rain one day and it was trying to plow through the puddles. It would go left and right on it's own. The toe was out on all 4 tires. It was aligned at a Chevrolet dealer when they put 4 new tires on before I bought it. I got it aligned and it drove wonderful, especially in the rain. I don't slow down in the rain either. That's what they make new tires, wiper blades, and Rain-X for.
