A hinge assembly may include a hinge bracket, a pivot member and a hinge arm. The hinge bracket may be adapted to be mounted to a frame member of a vehicle. The pivot member may be connected to the hinge bracket and may be pivotable relative thereto. The hinge arm may be connected to the pivot member and may be pivotable about a longitudinal axis of the pivot member. The hinge arm may be linearly adjustable in a first direction relative to the hinge bracket and linearly adjustable in a second direction relative to the hinge bracket. The first and second directions may be substantially perpendicular relative to each other. The hinge arm may be adapted to be coupled to a closure panel of the vehicle to move the closure panel relative to the frame member between an open position and a closed position.

A hinge assembly comprising: a hinge bracket adapted to be mounted to a frame member of a vehicle, the hinge bracket including a first slot extending in a first direction;a pivot member having a longitudinal axis and extending through the first slot of the hinge bracket perpendicular to the first
1. A hinge assembly comprising: a hinge bracket adapted to be mounted to a frame member of a vehicle, the hinge bracket including a first slot extending in a first direction;a pivot member having a longitudinal axis and extending through the first slot of the hinge bracket perpendicular to the first direction, the pivot member being movable within the first slot relative to the hinge bracket in the first direction; anda first cam member coupled to the pivot member and being rotatable relative to the hinge bracket and the hinge arm about the longitudinal axis and including a peripheral surface contacting the hinge bracket; anda hinge arm connected to the pivot member and being pivotable relative to the hinge bracket about the longitudinal axis of the pivot member, the hinge arm threadably engaging the pivot member;wherein rotation of the first cam member moved the pivot member within the first slot, thereby linearly adjusting the hinge arm in the first direction relative to the hinge bracket, and wherein rotation of the pivot member relative to the hinge arm linearly adjusts the hinge arm in a second direction relative to the hinge bracket, the first and second directions being substantially perpendicular to each other, the hinge arm being adapted to be coupled to a closure panel of the vehicle to move the closure panel relative to the frame member between an open position and a closed position. 2. The hinge assembly of claim 1, further comprising a pivot pin attached to the hinge bracket and a second cam member engaging the pivot pin for pivotable motion relative to the hinge bracket. 3. The hinge assembly of claim 2, wherein the hinge bracket includes a base portion and an upright portion extending from the base portion, the base portion including a reaction member extending therefrom and engaging a peripheral surface of the second cam member, and wherein rotation of the second cam member relative to the hinge bracket exerts a force on the reaction member causing linear movement of the hinge bracket relative to the frame member of the vehicle. 4. The hinge assembly of claim 3, wherein pivotal motion of the second cam member relative to the hinge bracket causes corresponding linear adjustment of the hinge bracket in a third direction that is perpendicular to the first and second directions. 5. The hinge assembly of claim 4, further comprising a pivot bushing fixedly engaging the hinge arm and threadably engaging the pivot member. 6. The hinge assembly of claim 5, wherein threadable adjustment of the pivot member relative to the pivot bushing causes corresponding linear adjustment of the hinge arm relative to the hinge bracket in the second direction. 7. The hinge assembly of claim 6, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction and the first and second directions are perpendicular to the third direction. 8. The hinge assembly of claim 1, wherein the closure panel includes a hood of the vehicle. 9. A vehicle comprising: a frame member;a hinge bracket adapted to be mounted to the frame member;a pivot member connected to the hinge bracket, the pivot member being pivotable relative to the hinge bracket;a hinge arm connected to the pivot member and being pivotable about a longitudinal axis of the pivot member, the hinge arm being linearly adjustable relative to the hinge bracket and being adapted to be coupled to a closure panel of the vehicle to move the closure panel relative to the frame member between an open position and a closed position; anda first cam member coupled to the pivot member and being pivotable relative to the hinge bracket and the hinge arm about the longitudinal axis, the first cam member including a peripheral surface contacting the hinge bracket,wherein pivotal motion of the first cam member relative to the hinge bracket causes corresponding linear adjustment of the pivot member. 10. The vehicle of claim 9, wherein the hinge bracket includes a base portion and an upright portion extending from the base portion, the base portion including a reaction member extending therefrom and engaging a peripheral surface of a second cam member, and wherein rotation of the second cam member relative to the hinge bracket exerts a force on the reaction member causing linear movement of the hinge arm relative to the frame member of the vehicle. 11. The vehicle of claim 10, wherein the hinge arm is independently movable in first and second directions relative to the frame member, the first and second directions being substantially perpendicular to each other, wherein movement of the first cam member causes movement of the hinge arm in the first direction and movement of the second cam member causes movement of the hinge arm in the second direction. 12. The vehicle of claim 11, wherein the pivot member threadably engages the hinge arm and is pivotable relative to the hinge arm to move the hinge arm in a third direction relative to the frame member, the third direction being substantially perpendicular to the first and second directions. 13. The vehicle of claim 9, further comprising an adjustment member coupled to the hinge bracket and threadably connected to the first cam member, wherein movement of the adjustment member causes corresponding movement of the first cam member. 14. The vehicle of claim 9, wherein the closure panel includes a hood of the vehicle. 15. The vehicle of claim 9, further comprising a pivot bushing fixedly engaging the hinge arm and threadably engaging the pivot member. 16. The vehicle of claim 15, wherein threadable adjustment of the pivot member relative to the pivot bushing causes corresponding linear adjustment of the hinge arm relative to the frame member. 17. The vehicle of claim 9, wherein the hinge bracket includes a base portion mounted to the frame member and an upright portion extending from the base portion, the upright portion including a slot in which the pivot member is received.
