A cam adjustable shim assembly includes a bushing defining a bushing opening. The bushing opening extends longitudinally along a bushing axis to define a bushing bore. The cam adjustable shim assembly further includes a cam disposed in the bushing bore. The cam defines a cam bore extending longitudinally along a first cam axis offset relative to the bushing axis such that the cam bore is eccentric relative to the bushing bore. The cam adjustable shim assembly further includes a bolt at least partially disposed within the cam bore along a first cam axis. The bolt is engaged with the cam bore such that rotation of the bolt about the first cam axis causes the cam to rotate within the bushing about the bushing axis.

1. A cam adjustable shim assembly, comprising: a bushing defining a bushing opening, the bushing opening extending longitudinally along a bushing axis to define a bushing bore;a cam disposed in the bushing bore, the cam defining a cam bore extending longitudinally along a first cam axis offset relative to the bushing axis such that the cam bore is eccentric relative to the bushing bore;a bolt at least partially disposed within the cam bore along the first cam axis, wherein the bolt is engaged with the cam bore such that rotation of the bolt about the first cam axis causes the cam to rotate within the bushing about the bushing axis. 2. The cam adjustable shim assembly of claim 1, wherein the bolt includes external splines, and the cam bore includes inner splines engaging with the external splines of the bolt. 3. The cam adjustable shim assembly of claim 2, further comprising a nut coupled to the bolt. 4. The cam adjustable shim assembly of claim 3, wherein the bolt includes a head and a shank extending from the head, and the shank includes a threaded section having external threads and a splined section having the external splines, and the nut has inner threads engaging with the external threads. 5. The cam adjustable shim assembly of claim 4, wherein the cam bore defines an inner cam surface, and the inner splines extend from the inner cam surface of the cam bore. 6. The cam adjustable shim assembly of claim 5, wherein the shank defines an outer shank surface and the external splines extend from the outer shank surface. 7. The cam adjustable shim assembly of claim 2, wherein the cam includes a cam body defining an outer cam surface extending longitudinally along a second cam axis offset relative to the first cam axis. 8. The cam adjustable shim assembly of claim 7, wherein the second cam axis is offset relative to the first cam axis such that the outer cam surface is partially interrupted by the cam bore thereby creating a longitudinal opening between a portion of the outer cam surface and the cam bore. 9. The cam adjustable shim assembly of claim 8, wherein the offset of the second cam axis relative to the first cam axis is such that a major diameter of the bolt external splines remains substantially within the outer cam surface. 10. The cam adjustable shim assembly of claim 7, wherein the second cam axis is aligned with the bushing axis and the outer cam surface and the bushing bore are substantially cylindrical. 11. A suspension system, comprising: a control arm;a frame structure; anda cam adjustable shim assembly operatively interconnecting the control arm and the frame structure, wherein the cam adjustable shim assembly includes: a bushing fixed to the frame structure such that the bushing remains stationary relative to the frame structure, the bushing defining a bushing opening, the bushing opening extending longitudinally along a bushing axis to define a bushing bore;a cam disposed in the bushing bore, the cam defining a cam bore extending longitudinally along a first cam axis offset relative to the bushing axis such that the cam bore is eccentric relative to the bushing bore;a bolt at least partially disposed within the cam bore along the first cam axis, the bolt coupling the bushing to the control arm, and the bolt being engaged with the cam bore such that rotation of the bolt about the first cam axis causes the cam to rotate within the bushing about the bushing axis; andwherein the control arm is coupled to the cam via the bolt such that rotation of the cam within the bushing causes the control arm to move relative to the frame structure. 12. The suspension system of claim 11, wherein the bolt includes external splines, and the cam bore includes inner splines engaging with the external splines of the bolt. 13. The suspension system of claim 12, further comprising a nut coupled to the bolt and pressed against the control arm. 14. The suspension system of claim 13, wherein the bolt includes a head and a shank extending from the head, the shank includes a threaded section having external threads and a splined section having the external splines, and the nut has inner threads engaging with the external threads. 15. The suspension system of claim 14, wherein the cam bore defines an inner cam surface, and the inner splines extend from the inner cam surface of the cam bore. 16. The suspension system of claim 15, wherein the cam includes a cam body defining an outer cam surface extending longitudinally along a second cam axis offset relative to the first cam axis. 17. The suspension system of claim 16, wherein the second cam axis is offset relative to the first cam axis such that the outer cam surface is partially interrupted by the cam bore thereby creating a longitudinal opening between a portion of the outer cam surface and the cam bore. 18. The suspension system of claim 17, wherein the offset of the second cam axis relative to the first cam axis is such that a major diameter of the bolt external splines remains substantially within the outer cam surface. 19. The suspension system of claim 18, wherein the second cam axis is aligned with the bushing axis and the outer cam surface and the bushing bore are substantially cylindrical. 20. A vehicle, comprising: a wheel;a control arm operatively coupled to the wheel;a frame structure; anda cam adjustable shim assembly interconnecting the control arm to the frame structure, wherein the cam adjustable shim assembly includes: a bushing fixed to the frame structure such that the bushing remains stationary relative to the frame structure, the bushing defining a bushing opening extending longitudinally along a bushing axis to define a bushing bore;a cam disposed in the bushing bore, the cam defining a cam bore extending longitudinally along a first cam axis offset relative to the bushing axis such that the cam bore is eccentric relative to the bushing bore;a bolt at least partially disposed within the cam bore along a first cam axis, the bolt coupling the bushing to the control arm, wherein the bolt is engaged with the cam bore such that rotation of the bolt about the first cam axis causes the cam to rotate within the bushing about the bushing axis, the control arm being coupled to the cam via the bolt such that rotation of the cam within the bushing causes the control arm to move relative to the frame structure; andwherein the control arm is operatively coupled to the wheel via the cam adjustable shim assembly such that rotation of the bolt about the first cam axis causes the wheel to move relative to the frame structure.
