  • Patent number: 6234500
    Abstract: A pneumatic device for adjusting wheel camber includes an air bladder operatively connected with an air supply valve and an air release button via an air hose. The device facilitates adjustment of vehicle wheel camber and is adapted to be connected with a compressed air supply. The air supply valve and air release button control the delivery and release of compressed air into and from the air bladder. The air bladder is placed between the strut and the tire-wheel assembly of a vehicle, and the camber adjustment bolts are loosened. The air bladder is then selectively inflated, thus compressively moving the tire-wheel assembly in relation to the strut, until the correct camber setting is achieved. The camber adjustment bolts are then tightened, the compressed air contained in the air bladder is released therefrom, and the device is removed from the vehicle.
