Abstract: Apparatus for vehicle wheel alignment comprising a wheel engaging member and a bearing surface rigidly mountable to the wheel engaging member. A lever with a movable fulcrum is mounted to the bearing surface for applying an appropriately directed force to the bearing surface to adjust the alignment of an engaged wheel. A bracing member is provided extendable from the lever for attachment to an anchor surface. The bracing member provides a reaction force to ensure that the aligning force generated by the lever is directed toward the engaged wheel. Alternative embodiments of the invention can be used to adjust wheel alignment on straight axle and trailing arm axle vehicles.

Abstract: An apparatus for straightening an unmounted automotive component. The apparatus has a pneumatic pull tower mounted at one end of a base and a first pulley mounted on a movable ram sleeve in the tower. A second pulley is movably mounted along the tower. A component securing device is mounted at another end of the base and can receive and hold the component. A first chain can be connected at one end to the component and at another end to the base. The chain is led along the first and second pulleys such that when the pneumatic pull tower is activated, the ram sleeve will apply a force on the chain to straighten the component.
