摘要：Camber is adjusted in a strut-type suspension by replacing one of the twofactory-installed bolts that holds the wheel onto the strut with a replacement bolthaving a shaft portion that is narrower in diameter than the hole which retains the originalbolt. A wedge is then inserted between the strut and the wheel mounting such thatcamber is adjusted with the wheel mounting pivoting about the remaining second factorybolt holding the wheel mounting to the strut. Preferably, the wedge has a threaded rodextending from the narrower portion of the wedge through a washer that is retained by abracket holding the wheel mounting to the strut. A nut is threaded onto the bolt andworks against the washer to pull the wedge between the wheel mounting and the strutto adjust camber and to retain the wedge between the wheel mounting and the strut.
