CA 2468752

A device for adjusting the position of suspension control arm (14) and, consequently, wheel caster is provided. The device includes a fastener (16) that couples a suspension control arm between a pair of support members (26, 28) in a vehicle frame. Shim packs (22, 24) are supported on the fastener (16) on either side of the control arm (14) between the control arms and the frame support (26, 28) members. The shim packs include shims (58, 60) having open- ended slots (68) for easy addition of removal. Each shim pack (22, 24) may further include a pair of ring shaped members (62, 64) disposed about the fastener (16), and coupled to the shims (58, 60) of its respective shim pack. The shims are held together using a coupling element such as a cotter pin (66), however, to prevent the shims from becoming dislodged. The position of the control arm may be adjusted by swapping shims between the first and second shim packs.

Dispositif destiné à ajuster la position d'un bras de commande (14) de suspension et par conséquent, de la chasse de roue. Ledit dispositif possède une pièce d'attache (16) qui couple un bras de commande de suspension entre deux éléments de support (26, 28) appartenant à un châssis de véhicule. Des groupes (22, 24) de cales sont soutenus sur la pièce d'attache (16) de chaque côté du bras de commande (14), entre lesdits bras de commande et les éléments de support (26, 28) du châssis. Les groupes de cales comportent des cales (58, 60) pourvues d'une fente à terminaison ouverte (68), ce qui facilite l'ajout ou le retrait desdites cales. Chaque groupe (22, 24) de cales peut en outre posséder deux éléments annulaires (62, 64) disposés autour de la pièce d'attache (16), et attachés aux cales (58, 60) de leur groupe de cales respectif. Les cales sont toutefois maintenues ensemble à l'aide d'un élément de couplage tel qu'une goupille fendue (66) pour les empêcher de se détacher. La position du bras de commande peut être ajustée par transfert de cales entre les premier et second groupes de cales.
