ABSTRACT:
A header alignment apparatus for a vehicle. The header alignment apparatus having a substantially vertically upright extension pole that moves upward during a contraction mode and remains in a set position during an expansion mode. An L-shaped upper actuator sleeve is provided that is movable in the axial direction of the vertically upright extension pole and includes an upper actuator clamp, integrally formed therewith, for engaging a header of the vehicle. An adjustable L-shaped lower actuator sleeve is attached to the vertically upright extension and is movable in the axial direction of the vertically upright extension pole and includes a lower actuator clamp, integrally formed therewith, for engaging a bumper of the vehicle. A self-centering ram is provided for performing a simultaneous function of lowering the upper actuator clamp and raising the lower actuator clamp so that the header is lowered during the contraction mode, and also performing the simultaneous function of raising the upper actuator clamp and lowering the lower actuator clamp so that the header is raised during the expansion mode.
