Abstract
An apparatus and a method are provided for a camber adjustment assembly, comprising: first and second end plates coupled to a substantially planar center portion, wherein the first and second end plates comprise a generally triangular configuration; a chassis element coupled to a trailing arm and the camber adjustment assembly, and wherein a force may be applied to the camber adjustment assembly so as to desirably induce a positive or negative camber condition.
Claims17
A camber adjustment assembly, comprising:
- a first end plate and a second end plate, wherein the first end plate and the second end plate each comprise a generally triangular configuration;
- a chassis element coupled to a trailing arm;
- and
- a planar center portion coupled to and disposed between the first end plate and the second end plate, such that holes at corners of the first end plate and the second end plate are aligned, wherein rotation of the camber adjustment assembly is configured to cause a corresponding change in the camber angle of a wheel, and
- wherein when a force is applied to the camber adjustment assembly, the force induces a positive or negative camber condition.

A wheel camber adjustment assembly configured to change a camber angle of the wheel, comprising:
- a first end plate and a second end plate each having (i) a triangular shape, and (ii) a hole disposed at each corner of the triangular shape;
- and
- a planar center portion disposed between the first end plate and the second end plate, such that holes at corners of the first end plate and the second end plate are aligned,
- wherein a first corner of the triangular shape of each of the first end plate and the second end plate is configured to be hingedly coupled to a trailing arm, the trailing arm comprising a wheel hub disposed within a cylindrical axle support of the trailing arm,
- wherein a second corner and a third corner of the triangular shape configured to be hingedly coupled to a chassis element of a vehicle, such that rotating the wheel camber adjustment assembly around either of the second or third corners causes a corresponding change in the camber angle of a wheel whereby the wheel camber adjusting assembly is configured to adjust camber angle settings in an off-road vehicle.
