Abstract: A business method for secure sending and receiving of items (2) to and from secure enclosures 4 has method steps that include: providing a secure item sending/receiving business system with a control unit (1) for coordinating, regulating and recording for the secure item sending/receiving business system; providing a single-use-access code (6) for single-use access to a secure enclosure (4); and qualifying pickup and delivery accessibleness by enabled item handlers (5) and by independent item handlers (9) to the secure enclosures.

Abstract: An adjustable ball joint assembly to be secured between the wheel and the apex of an upper control arm member of a motor vehicle suspension system to provide for camber/caster adjustment of motor vehicles with altered suspensions, typically lowered suspensions. The adjustable ball joint includes a ball joint retainer body including a locking plate and with an eccentrically positioned ball socket (opening) formed in the bottom surface of the plate. A stub shaft, fast on the top surface of the locking plate, extends upwardly, with an arcuately configured annular groove formed around its periphery. A tapered boss is positioned adjacent the top surface of the locking plate and configured to be received within the ball joint port of the control arm.

Abstract: An adjustable strut mounting plate for correcting at least one alignment parameter of a motor vehicle wheel assembly, with the adjustable strut mounting plate comprising an annular body adapted for secure attachment to the original strut mounting plate of the motor vehicle. The adjustable strut mounting plate includes a plurality of elongated ribbed adjustment bores through which bolts pass to secure the original strut mounting plate to the adjustable mounting plate. In addition, right hand and left hand tower mounting bores are provided in the adjustable strut mounting plate to accommodate attachment of the combined adjustable strut plate with the original strut plate to the vehicle tower.

Abstract: A pry tool for facilitating disassembly of suspension components in a vehicle wheel suspension assembly which includes a vehicular telescopic strut member secured to a steering knuckle. The tool comprises a handle member along with a fulcrum tower, with the combination being arranged to substantially enclose the strut, and through forces created by the pry tool, and against the coil spring, the tool enables and facilitates removal of the steering knuckle from the body of the strut. The pry tool includes an elongated handle with a handle yoke at one end for enclosing or enveloping the strut, and with a fulcrum yoke at the opposed end for contacting the upper end of the steering knuckle. Axial removal forces are applied between the coil spring and the steering knuckle, thereby freeing the strut component from the assembly.

Abstract: Camber adjustment assembly for adjustably and securely positioning a wheel within a vehicular suspension system utilizing a generally vertically arranged support strut with the lower end of the strut being provided with a generally "U"-shaped bracket secured fast thereupon. The bracket is typically provided with two vertically spaced apart bore pairs for receiving through-bolts therethrough, and for retaining the knuckle assembly therewithin. The camber adjustment assembly includes an eccentric bolt having an eccentric segment between the head portion and the distal portion, with the eccentric segment being designed to be retained within either the upper or lower series of bores formed in the knuckle assembly.
