ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a rear lateral arm for lowering the body of a vehicle which includes a mechanism which can be adjusted to compensate for the excessive negative camber associated with such lowering. The adjustment mechanism is in the form of a modified turnbuckle built into the lateral arm. The turnbuckle allows adjustment of the horizontal distance between the vehicle chassis and the wheel mount, thereby allowing adjustment of the camber of the rear wheels. After a suitable adjustment has been made, locking nuts are engaged to prevent further movement of the turnbuckle.
