ABSTRACT:
Camber adjustment assembly for adjustably and securely positioning a wheel within a vehicular suspension system utilizing a generally vertically arranged support strut with the lower end of the strut being provided with a generally "U"-shaped bracket secured fast thereupon. The bracket is typically provided with two vertically spaced apart bore pairs for receiving through-bolts therethrough, and for retaining the knuckle assembly therewithin. The camber adjustment assembly includes an eccentric bolt having an eccentric segment between the head portion and the distal portion, with the eccentric segment being designed to be retained within either the upper or lower series of bores formed in the knuckle assembly. An eccentric (offset) tough and durable sleeve is provided to be received over the eccentric segment of the bolt, with the sleeve having an inner diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the eccentric shank segment, and with the eccentric profile of the sleeve matching the eccentric profile of the eccentric bolt segment. The combination of the eccentric bolt and sleeve is arranged to be received within either the upper or lower vertically spaced apart series of bores in order to achieve secure and properly adjusted positioning of the knuckle assembly relative to the support strut.
