ABSTRACT:
A vehicle has an axle assembly which comprises an axle, which axle includes a steering knuckle pivotally mounted to a rigid axle housing, and a spindle, for supporting a wheel of the vehicle for rotation, mounted to the steering knuckle. The steering knuckle and spindle have mounting pads which are held in facing relationship. In its apparatus aspects, the present invention involves a tapered shim member interposed between the mounting pads in order to adjust the angle formed by the spindle and axle to thereby adjust the camber of the wheel. In its method aspects, the invention involves changing the angle between the spindle and axle. The present invention finds an important application in adjusting the camber of the front wheels of conventionally constructed four-wheel drive vehicles.
