ABSTRACT:
The tie rod in the steering system of an automotive vehicle is adjusted by an apparatus whose housing contains two transmissions, one to rotate the tie rod and the other to rotate the lock nut which normally holds the tie rod in a selected angular position. The second transmission can rotate a wrench for the lock nut, and this wrench is slotted to allow for entry of a portion of the tie rod into its socket. A carriage is reciprocable in the housing to shift the wrench axially so that the socket of the wrench can receive or can be moved away from the lock nut.
