A bar is affixed to the wheel to be aligned which bar extends above the wheel. Through the top portion of the bar is passed top adjustment assembly which affixes to the spring, strut or strut housing and is moved inwardly or outwardly after the wheel assembly attached to the strut has been loosened thereby establishing the proper camber angle of the wheel and retaining the wheel in the appropriate orientation until the mechanic tightens the wheel restraining bolts or assembly of the strut.
