Which alignment angle is adjusted last during a four-wheel alignment?

In a four-wheel alignment process, adjusting the front toe is performed last because it is critical for ensuring the vehicle's steering response and overall handling characteristics are optimized. The front toe setting influences how the tires align with the centerline of the vehicle, directly affecting tire wear and vehicle tracking.

Prior to adjusting the front toe, other alignment angles such as camber and rear toe are set first to create a stable baseline of the vehicle's geometry. Maintaining this sequence is vital; once the foundational angles are determined, the final adjustments to the front toe can be made to fine-tune steering performance. Proper toe alignment ensures that both front tires point in the right direction, allowing for precise steering control and ultimately extending tire life.

By adjusting the front toe last, technicians can confirm that the suspension components are in the correct positions before finalizing this crucial aspect of the alignment, leading to a more accurate setup overall.
