ABSTRACT:
An adjustable mounting assembly has a slot through the control arm of a steerable wheel suspension system in which a threaded stud of a ball joint extends. Nuts threadably engage the stud and clamp the control arm in place to fix the spindle in an adjusted position. The nuts are longitudinally adjusted along the stud to preload the ball joint to a desired amount.
