A plate, for use in adjusting the rear wheels of a four wheel vehicle incorporating all wheel steering has an elongate sheet-form bearing cage, which includes a plurality of apertures. Ball bearings or other rolling elements are located in the apertures, and a top sheet member is located on top of the ball bearings. In use, the ball bearings are supported on a horizontal planar surface, for example a support platform of a hydraulic lift or a separate base sheet member. The configuration of the cage and the bearings is such that the top sheet member is capable of limited lateral and rotational movement in a horizontal plane, to permit full adjustment of rear wheels of a vehicle having a steering capacity.

A plate, for use in adjusting the rear wheels of a four wheel vehicle incorporating all wheel steering, the plate comprising an elongate sheet-form bearing cage, including a plurality of apertures which are spaced apart both along the length and across the width of the bearing cage, a plurality of rolling elements for said apertures, with each aperture including at least one rolling element and the rolling elements having a diameter greater than the thickness of the bearing cage, a top sheet member located on top of the rolling elements for supporting a vehicle wheel, and means for securing the sheet member to a generally horizontal planar surface whilst permitting restricted horizontal movement thereof, which means comprises a plurality of elongate openings in the sheet member and for each opening, a securing member adapted to be secured to a horizontal planar surface and having a shoulder portion whose length is longer than the diameter of the balls and the thickness of the top sheet member and which in use extends up from the horizontal surface, the width of the openings being greater than the diameter of the shoulder portion of the bolts and being of sufficient length and orientation to permit both lateral and rotational movement of the top sheet member, the securing members further including heads larger than the openings to secure the top sheet member, whereby, in use, with the sheet member so secured to a planar surface, the sheet member is supported on the planar surface by said rolling elements and is capable of limited lateral and rotational movement in a horizontal plane.
