ABSTRACT:
A toe-in angle adjustment mechanism is provided which comprises a geared adjustment plate that is attached to a suspension arm for a rear wheel. The adjustment plate has a bushing centrally mounted therein and is connected to the wheel spindle. A locking plate is provided to prevent unwanted frame movement of the wheel angle during adjustment. The locking plate has an access for a geared adjustment tool for engaging the teeth of the adjustment plate to pivot the adjustment plate and thus the spindle to adjust the toe-in angle of the wheel.
