Abstract
A joint mounting kit comprises a mounting plate and slugs to enhance adjustability of the vehicle suspension system. A fastener is configured to be received in the mounting hole to at least partially retain the mounting plate to a vehicle component, and a slug is configured to be received in the mounting hole with the fastener. The slug has a slug height that is equal to or less than a height of the mounting hole interior wall. In another implementation, the joint mounting kit comprises a plurality of slugs, with two or more slugs having different wheel adjustment dimensions. In yet another implementation, the slug has a tool removal recess to help facilitate slug removal.
