ABSTRACT:
A device for adjusting at least one alignment characteristic in a suspension system of an automotive vehicle that includes a wheel support member and a wheel attached to the wheel support member by at least one removable bolt, whose removal permits the alignment characteristic of the wheel to be adjusted. The device includes an adjusting bolt means having a shaft whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of the removable bolt and a mechanism for engaging the adjusting bolt such that the adjusting bolt is axially offset in the bore from which the removable bolt was removed and a mechanism for acting against the wheel assembly due to the offset axial position of the adjusting bolt for movement of the wheel assembly relative to the wheel support and means for securing the bolt in a non-rotatable position once the adjustment of the alignment characteristic has been completed.
