A tool for adjusting camber includes a body terminating at a forward end in a downwardly turned portion, and an advancing arm, slidingly mounted to the body, and forwardly extendable therefrom. The advancing arm may be advanced or retracted with respect to the body, for example, by rotation of a lead screw. A crank is disposed at an opposite end of the body from the downwardly turned end for rotating the lead screw. The leading edge of the advancing arm is designed to provide a stop against a part of the vehicle fixed with respect to the wheel, conveniently the strut. In operation, a level is attached to the center of the wheel to be adjusted, to indicate a desired setting. The downwardly turned portion of the body is hooked over the top of the wheel and the advancing arm is advanced until it is in engaged contact with the strut. Camber bolts holding the wheel in position are then loosened. The advancing arm is then advanced or retracted by turning the crank, until a desired camber reading is obtained, as indicated by the level. Camber bolts are re-tightened, and the camber adjustment tool and level removed from the wheel.

A tool for adjusting camber of a wheel on a vehicle, comprising: a body receivable on top of the wheel and having an extension part receivable against a side of the wheel facing inwardly of the vehicle, on a portion thereof disposed above a camber axis of the wheel, the tool further including; an advancing arm movably mounted to said body, said advancing arm being extendable in a first direction to engage a stop on the vehicle remote from said side of wheel; and means for extending said advancing arm in said first direction, a continued operation of said extending means following engagement of said advancing arm with said vehicle stop being operable to retract said body in a second direction opposite to said first direction whereby a resultant force in said second direction exerted on said portion of said side disposed above said camber axis by the body extension piece pivots the wheel about said camber axis.
