ABSTRACT:
A camber adjustment tool for a McPherson front end suspension system comprises a rigid base for being fastened to the face of a wheel hub. The wheel mounting studs extend through elongated holes in the base that facilitate fastening the base to the hub independently of different wheel stud patterns. Cammed sleeves inserted in the holes around the wheel studs prevent damaging the threads of the studs and provide rigid bearing surfaces for attaching the base to the hub. An adjustable foot releasably secured to the bottom of the base rests on the floor and rigidly supports the wheel hub above the floor. An instrument mounting bridge spaced from and extending parallel to the face of the base facilitates supporting a camber indicating gauge adjacent the hub independently of the wheel stud pattern. An adjustable collar is swivel mounted to the end of a rigid force-applying arm, which in turn, is fastened by a pair of adjustment nuts to the top of the base. The collar is fastened around the circumference of a McPherson strut, and either of the adjustment nuts is tightened to move the force-applying arm toward or away from the strut for progressively applying force to either side of the strut for increasing or decreasing the wheel camber, respectively.
