What is the toe-in specification for a 2001 chevy venture?

o replace the front passenger CV axle on a 2001 Chevy Venture, you'll need a set of basic tools. Here's a list of tools you might require for this job:

1. Jack and Jack Stands:
   • Used to lift the vehicle safely and provide support during the repair.
2. Wheel Chocks:
   • Ensures that the vehicle stays in place while lifting one end.
3. Lug Wrench:
   • To loosen and remove the lug nuts securing the wheel.
4. Socket Set and Wrenches:
   • Various sizes to remove bolts and nuts securing the CV axle.
5. Pry Bar or Crowbar:
   • Helps in removing components like the wheel hub.
6. Pliers:
   • Used to remove cotter pins and other small components.
7. Hammer:
   • May be needed to tap or gently persuade parts loose.
8. Torque Wrench:
   • Necessary for tightening nuts and bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.
9. Pry Tool or Flathead Screwdriver:
   • Useful for prying apart certain components.
10. Hub Puller (Optional):
    • Sometimes required to remove the wheel hub from the CV axle.
11. CV Joint Clamp Pliers:
    • If your CV axle is secured with clamps, you'll need pliers designed for CV joint clamps.
12. Catch Pan:
    • To catch any transmission fluid that may leak during the process.
13. New CV Axle:
    • Ensure you have the correct replacement part for your specific vehicle.
14. Wheel Bearing Grease:
    • Used to lubricate the CV joint and ensure smooth operation.
15. Service Manual:
    • A repair manual specific to your vehicle can provide step-by-step instructions and torque specifications.

Always follow safety precautions and consult your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions related to your Chevy Venture. If you're not comfortable with the repair process, it's advisable to seek professional assistance.

From the Holden Service CD:

The toe-in specification is deliberately quoted as an angle because wherever possible toe-in should be measured in degrees. Refer below for the recommended wheel alignment settings. These settings are at curb weight, which is the vehicle
in a condition of full fluids, full fuel, no people or luggage.


Front Toe-in Degrees Total 0°10' ± 0°10'
Degrees Per Wheel 0°05' ± 0°5'
Camber - 0°30' ± 0°20'
Caster 7°45' ± 1°15'

Rear Toe : 0 ± 1mm (0°± 0?10mins)
Camber : -1°30mins to -2°30mins
Torque Settings : 65 ± 5Nm

Before making wheel alignment adjustment, perform the following checks:

1. Tires should be equal in size and runout must not be excessive. Tires and wheels should be in balance, and inflated to manufacturer's specifications.


2. Wheel bearings must be properly adjusted. Steering linkage and suspension must not have excessive looseness. Check for wear in tie rod ends and ball joints.
3. Steering gear box must not have excessive play. Check and adjust to manufacturer's specifications.
4. Vehicle must be at curb height with full fuel load and spare tire in vehicle. No extra load should be on vehicle.
5. Vehicle must be level with floor and with suspension settled. Jounce front and rear of vehicle several times and allow it to settle to normal curb height.
6. If steering wheel is not centered with front wheels in straight-ahead position, correct by shortening one tie rod adjusting sleeve and lengthening opposite sleeve equal amounts.
7. Ensure wheel lug nuts are tightened to torque specifications

Ride Height Adjustment

Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor and tires properly inflated. Passenger and luggage compartments must be unloaded. Bounce vehicle several times, and allow suspension to settle. Visually inspect vehicle from front to rear and from side to side for signs of abnormal height.
Measure riding height. See figure. Riding height between left and right sides of vehicle should vary less than 1′ (25.4 mm). If riding height is not within specification, check suspension components and repair or replace them as necessary.
Wheel Alignment Procedures

Honda recommends using commercially available computerized 4-wheel alignment equipment. Follow equipment manufacturer instructions to obtain vehicle alignment settings. Use following procedures for necessary adjustments.
Civic Camber Adjustment
Compare camber settings with vehicle manufacturer recommendations. If camber is incorrect, check for bent or damaged front suspension components. Replace faulty components. Recheck camber.
Civic Caster Adjustment
DO NOT use more than 2 shims. If more than 2 shims are required to adjust caster angle, check for bent or damaged suspension components.
Compare caster settings with vehicle manufacturer recommendations. If caster is incorrect, check for bent or damaged front suspension components. Replace faulty components. Recheck caster.
Civic Toe-In Adjustment

1. Secure steering wheel in straight-ahead position. Measure front wheel toe-in. If adjustment is needed, loosen tie rod lock nuts. Turn both tie rods equally in the same direction until front wheels are in straight-ahead position and toe-in reading is correct. Tighten tie rod lock nuts. Reposition tie rod boots if twisted.
2. Ensure parking brake is released. Check rear wheel toe-in. If adjustment is needed, hold adjusting bolt on rear compensator arm and loosen lock nut. See figure. Adjust rear toe-in by sliding rear control arm until rear toe-in is correct. Install NEW lock nut, and tighten it while holding adjusting bolt.

hope this helps you out.

Yes. If you want the peace of mind, look for the specifications sticker under the hood on the radiator support cover....it will tell you there.

While turning the key rotate the steering wheel left and right. If there is too much tension on the parking lock the key cannot be turned.

bent alloy, bent steel rim, broken belting inside of tire(caused from hitting a good size hole). lug nuts not torqued to correct ft lbs, outer or inner tie rods, toe/ cmber out of adjustment. Are the tires wearing? If not, forget the camber/toe

if you mean the big nut in teh middle and its FWD then just pull it up tight with the snap on knuckle bar ,give it a **** or two and thats about the right torque.overtighten it and you WILL damage the bearing

No full 4 wheel alighnment. The struts you have replace are how the front camber is adjusted. After camber has been adjusted then toe will be set.

Camber
Left−right error
1°00’ ± 45'

Caster
Left−right error
3°00’ ± 1°

Steering axis inclination 13°00’ ± 45’
Camber, caster and steering axis inclination are not adjustable.
If measurements are not within the specification, inspect the
suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts and replace
them as necessary.

This is the only Land Cruiser Specs I could find, hope it helps

get a tape measure, and have someone hold it and the very center of the front wheel.and measure to the rear wheel very center. thats your wheelbase.
