A vehicle suspension element adjustment apparatus including improved structure for adjusting suspension elements to any of a plurality of discrete positions for alignment thereof wherein pairs of relatively adjustable elements are connected to respective pairs of plate members having formed surfaces for mutual interengagement of the pairs of plates in any of such discrete positions of adjustment. The formed surfaces preferably are vertically oriented serrations which permit relative horizontal adjustment between the pairs of plates, and hence between the suspension elements connected thereto.

In a vehicle having a suspension system adapted to support the vehicle with respect to ground engaging means and wherein the vehicle includes a bracket portion to which a member of the suspension system is adapted to be secured, a selectively adjustable securing apparatus for adjustably securing the suspension member with respect to the bracket portion comprising: first engagement means fixedly secured with respect the bracket portion; said first engagement means including thereon first formed means; second engagement means moveably disposed with respect to the bracket portion; said second engagement means including thereon second formed means which are cooperable with said first formed means for complementary mechanical interengagement between said first and second engagement means when said first and second engagement means are in confronting relationship to permit selective adjustable positioning of said second engagement means with respect to said first engagement means in any of a plurality of positions spaced apart in a predetermined lateral direction and said first and second formed means having means to preclude lateral movement of said second engagement means with respect to said first engagement means in a lateral direction transverse to said predetermined direction; and retention means adapted to releasably secure the suspension member to the bracket portion and cooperable with said first and second engagement means to selectively maintain said complementary mechanical interengagement therebetween in any of said plurality of positions, said retention means being constrained to move with said second engagement means during positioning thereof in any of said plurality of positions whereby the suspension member which is engaged by said retention means is securable with respect to the bracket portion in a selected position by securing said first and second engagement means with said retention means in said complementary mechanical interengagement at a corresponding one of said plurality of positions.
