Abstract
A toe adjustment assembly for adjusting the toe in the rear wheels of a vehicle having an independent rear suspension including: a cam device operatively associated with a lateral control arm, a slot provided in fixed relationship with the vehicle frame, and, cam engaging surfaces associated with the slot. When the cam device is rotated, it coacts with the cam engaging surfaces to cause relative lateral shifting of a shaft portion of the cam device. This lateral shifting of the cam device shaft portion causes lateral shifting of the associated control arm and thus toe adjustment of an associated wheel.
