Adjustment of the individual camber and toe-in of tandem wheels is provided through apparatus including first and second shafts which are pivotally and rotatably connected to a frame. First and second axle support members are connected to the first and second shafts. First and second axles are connected to the first and second axle support members and define first and second axle axes about which the first and second wheels may rotate. Adjustment of the toe-in and camber is provided by first and second adjusting members which adjusts the orientation of the first and second shaft axes. This results in adjustment of the orientation of the first and second axle axes, respectively, and, therefore the toe-in and camber of the wheels attached to the axles.
