Abstract
A system and method for adjusting at least one of a camber and a caster of a suspension system. The system includes a lower control arm and a suspension member coupled to the lower control arm. The system also includes a plate or plates defining a slot, the slot having a cam retaining element. In addition, the system includes one or more cams retained by the cam retaining element, the cam or cams defining an off-axis opening. The system also includes a bolt extending through the slot and through the off-axis opening in the cam. Upon rotation of the cam, the at least one plate is caused to move relative to the suspension member, which in turn causes the suspension member to move relative to the lower control arm.
