A spreading device designed for adjustment of camber and or caster on
vehicles with control arms. The tool has a housing with fingers that
extend from the top of one end of the body. A bolt passes through a hole
in the housing. A foot is attached to the bolt. The foot has a tongue
that extends out the top of the housing. The tool is placed between the
vehicle's frame and a control arm. The bolts that retain the control arm
are loosened. The threaded rod on the tool is then tightened causing the
control arm to be pushed away from the frame. Once the desired steering
angles are reached, the control arm retaining bolts are tightened and the
tool can be loosened and removed. If two tools are used it is possible to
adjust caster without affecting camber or to adjust the camber without
affecting the caster.
