ABSTRACT:
Camber is adjusted in a strut-type suspension by replacing one of the two factory-installed bolts that holds the wheel onto the strut with a replacement bolt having a shaft portion that is narrower in diameter than the hole which retains the original bolt. A wedge is then inserted between the strut and the wheel mounting such that camber is adjusted with the wheel mounting pivoting about the remaining second factory bolt holding the wheel mounting to the strut. Preferably, the wedge has a threaded rod extending from the narrower portion of the wedge through a washer that is retained by a bracket holding the wheel mounting to the strut. A nut is threaded onto the bolt and works against the washer to pull the wedge between the wheel mounting and the strut to adjust camber and to retain the wedge between the wheel mounting and the strut.
