Abstract
A shaft member oscillatably supporting a suspension arm and inserted into slots provided respectively in a pair of spaced arm supporting members secured fixedly to a chassis comprises a bolt and a hollow shaft for receiving the bolt. A disk-shaped cam is disposed on one end of the hollow shaft. The hollow shaft is provided on the other end with a non-round fit portion. An engaging member having a non-round hole into which the fit portion is inserted is provided with a cam surface having the same profile as that of the disk, a tool engaging portion outside this cam face and a threaded portion into which is screwed the bolt. The bolt is screwed into the threaded hole of the engaging member from the outside of the cam and fastened temporarily. When the engaging member is turned with a tool, the cam faces of the cam and engaging member engage respective guide walls provided on the arm supporting members and rotate to move the shaft member along the slots.
