ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An alignment system for non-adjustable motor vehicle front end suspension systems, such as those employing McPherson struts, includes anchors for mounting, by appropriate adaptors, to the opposite side forward sheet metal portions of the vehicle to which the upper ends of associated McPherson struts are secured. An elongated adjustable length thrust member is operatively connected between the anchors and a support assembly is provided anchorable relative to one side of the associated vehicle. The support assembly includes an upper portion to which the adjacent alignment system anchor may be connected by means of an adjustable length anchor member and the support further includes an adjustable support member to which the adjacent wheel hub may be releasably anchored. The adjustable length thrust member may be utilized to effect and maintain proper spacing between the McPherson strut anchor points and the adjustable length anchor member and adjustable support member may be utilized to effect simultaneous lateral adjustment of the strut anchor points of the associated vehicle. Also, the adjustable length anchor member and adjustable support member may be utilized to maintain proper positioning of one of the strut anchor points while the adjustable length thrust member connected between the strut anchor points may be utiliæed to effect proper spacing therebetween, thus also properly locating the upper anchor point of the other strut member.
