ABSTRACT:
A wheel assembly having an axle with two vertically spaced control arms pivotably mounted to two staggered arms of a spindle assembly. One arm of the spindle has an aperture receiving a rotatably mounted sleeve. The sleeve has an aperture therethrough which is eccentric with respect to the central axis of the sleeve. The eccentric aperture is constructed to receive a tapered ball stud integral with the ball mounted within a control arm. The ball stud extends through the aperture with a fastener threaded thereon to abut the sleeve and to draw a tapered section of the stud into the tapered aperture to expand the sleeve and to frictionally lock the sleeve within the aperture of the spindle. The sleeve when unlocked can be rotated to adjust the camber of the wheel assembly.
