ABSTRACT:
An adjustment arrangement in a suspension hanger assembly that can be used to square the orientation of an axle with the travel direction of the incorporating vehicle. The adjustment arrangement includes a hanger bracket that has a pair of substantially parallel, spaced apart hanger legs projecting generally away from the vehicle and each of the hanger legs has an elongate aperture or slot that is mutually aligned, one with the other. A bushing pin is inserted through both elongate apertures with opposite end portions of the pin being similarly positioned in each of the apertures. A substantially squared orientation is established between the hanger bracket and the bushing pin. A pair of adjustment devices are provided, one each, in association with a respective end portion of the bushing pin. The devices are configured to synchronously move both end portions of the bushing pin to similar positions in the elongate apertures thereby maintaining the substantially squared orientation between the hanger bracket and the bushing pin. Each of the adjustment devices are arranged to be rotated about a floating axis relative to the hanger bracket and to have a tool-receiving aperture eccentrically located relative to that floating axis. The tool-receiving apertures are configured to simultaneously receive a common actuating tool for affecting synchronous rotation of the adjustment devices.
