Abstract

A device is used to adjust alignment of a vehicle wheel connected to a vehicle by a suspension system having an arm member affecting wheel alignment. The arm member has a first bore transversely disposed therethrough with respect to the axis of the member with the arm member being attached to the vehicle by a bolt extending through the first bore. The device displaces the bolt of the control arm from its original position to a second preselected position, thereby adjusting the alignment of the wheel.
