Is a Four-Wheel Alignment Necessary After Rotating Front and Rear Tires?

[EthanLee]

Rotating front and rear tires requires a four-wheel alignment because swapping the tires ensures even wear between the front and rear tires, thereby extending their service life. The four-wheel alignment process includes the following steps: 1. Lift the vehicle using a lift and check the tire pressure; 2. Power on the computer and secure the steering wheel; 3. Install the four-wheel sensor rods and connect the leads to read alignment data; 4. Adjust the rear wheel camber and tighten the shock absorber screws; 5. Rotate the adjustment tube clamp screws to ensure consistent toe-in data for both wheels; 6. Loosen the tie rod screws to obtain standard data; 7. Confirm that the tie rod ends are at a right angle and tighten the screws.
