  • Caster adjustment tool
    Patent number: 6568238
    Abstract: The caster angle of a unibody vehicle may be adjusted by securing a fixed frame member to the vehicle's rocker panel pinch weld to provide an anchor point for adjustment. An hydraulic porter power ram mounted between the forward end of the frame leg and the lower control arm of the steering assembly is used to push the lower control arm forward to the proper caster angle. A stabilizing bar attached to the fixed frame member minimizes twisting of the fixed frame member under hydraulic pressure.
