ABSTRACT:
A vehicle having a toe angle adjustment mechanism. The vehicle has a frame member, a steerable wheel, a steering knuckle pivotally connecting the wheel to the frame member about a substantially vertical axis, a steering mechanism for steering the vehicle, and a steering actuator included as part of the steering mechanism for moving in a predetermined direction to cause a steering change. A transfer member is connected to the wheel for transferring a force applied by the actuator to the wheel to effect the steering change. The adjustment mechanism pivotally couples the distal end of the transfer member to distal end of the steering actuator about an adjustable pivot axis. The adjustment mechanism permits adjustment of the toe angle of the wheel and varies the position of the adjustable pivot axis with respect to one of the distal end portions to vary the toe angle.
