ABSTRACT:
A device for adjusting the front wheel alignment of an automotive vehicle including a McPherson-type strut, the upper end of which is carried on the vehicle frame for limited pivotal movement and the lower end of which carries the wheel spindle assembly. The lower end of the strut is fixed on a steering arm which is pivoted on the lower ball joint. A cylindrical mounting member on which the lower ball joint stud is eccentrically secured may be rotated on the steering arm to vary the position of the strut axis relative to the fixed lower ball joint axis, pivoting the strut about its upper end mounting to adjust the camber and caster of the wheel. After the adjustment is made, the bolts attaching the steering arm to the strut are tightened to clamp the cylindrical mounting member in place.
