New member need help with front toe

Well I’m new to the forums I’ve used this site frequently and it’s helped a lot so I finally decided to make an account that also being said I need help, I have got an alignment about 3 times in the past 6 months and my toe will NOT stay correct especially on the front passenger side axle, and I dont know what steps to take that’s the side I have had the most problems with and I don’t know what to do at this point

What do you mean by the toe will not remain the same? Are you getting a different reading when at the alignment every time? Or are you having issues with the inner and outer tie rods?

so I did my coils last August and probably got it aligned In September and within a week the toe on the passenger front got messed up causing the steering wheel too be cocked to the right so I took it back they fixed it for free and then over time the wheel started getting cocked to the right again so I just got it aligned very recently and they had the toe within factory spec BEFORE I got this current alignment done but when I did this current one the toe before the alignment was 0.28 degrees off and they got it back to .04 after and I dont know what’s going on but I just put my summer wheels on put the right air pressure all around and now the steering wheel is cocked to the left and it’s pulling to the right and I’m really frustrated I’ve also been having sway bar issues up front but I don’t think that would be related so if you have any ideas I’d appreciate it

Unless the suspension is very different than what I am used to the only thing that should change toe would be the tie rod adjustment. The coils shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Okay if your steering wheel is crooked it’s due to the alignment shop not straightening it. My alignment shop they have a tool that they place under my steering wheel to keep it straight from moving when doing the toe adjustment. Also before he starts he usually asks me to center it how I want and lock it, but I did have a issue where another alignment shop messed up my toe and when straight it was reading way different number then to say me having the steering wheel turnt to the left a bit. But I would advice going to a new alignment shop. Because I too am lowered but on swift springs, and have SPC front and rear camber arms. The front sway bar might have to do something with it but I ain’t no expert maybe someone can add onto that. But, the first time yes your alignment will change due to having the suspension settle down. But if I were you just go over everything once more make sure your coil over are the same height and everything is bolted correctly.

I saw your list and the only thing that should change front toe would be tie rods.
