Abstract
A wheel alignment adjusting mechanism for a rear suspension system for an automotive vehicle. The wheel alignment adjusting mechanism is comprised of a rear upper link for movably connecting a wheel supporting member and a bracket projecting from a suspension member assembly. The rear upper link is pivotally connected at one end thereof with the bracket through a pivot pin. The pivot pin is movably fitted within elongate openings which are formed respectively in two side plate sections of the brackets. The longitudinal axis of each elongate opening inclines to be lowered in the outboard direction by an angle of 30 degrees relative to a horizontal plane in a vehicle body, thereby maintaining smaller change amounts in wheel alignment along with suspension stroke.
