So the service the manual follow in this order Front Caster, Front Camber, Rear camber, Front toe, and Rear toe. But I have read to do it in this order camber, caster, and toe starting from the rear. Also gotta leave everything loose until everything shows green and then tightened all the bolts?

It really doesn't matter the order you do it in. There is a reason the service manual specifies caster first. Because on some older machines you have to do a steering sweep every time you make a caster adjustment. Newer ones, it really doesn't matter.

Common wisdom among mechanics is to start at the rear because most cars have very little to no geometry adjustment up front being McPherson strut. The rear is typically multi- link or live axle. The rear is checked 1st to make sure the car isn't dog tracking.

Our cars it's best to do caster 1st, the work from there, of course more caster means less potential camber, so set it at the low end to get a bit more static camber. You can do the front or back in any order you want. To do the rear properly both adjusters must be loosened and turned until the alignment is set anyway.

Last thing you always do is front toe, because that's how you center your steering wheel after the alignment is done.
