Vehicle suspension adjustment
An assembly includes a suspension link, a worm screw, a worm wheel rotatably engaged with the worm screw, and an arm fixed to the worm wheel and connected to the suspension link.
1. An assembly, comprising:
a suspension link;
a worm screw;
a worm wheel rotatably engaged with the worm screw;
an arm fixed to the worm wheel and connected to the suspension link, the arm defining an elongated slot;
a rod extending from the worm wheel to the arm; and
a pin extending from the arm to the suspension link and movable along the elongated slot to move the suspension link to a specified suspension link position.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a motor, wherein the worm screw is mounted to the motor.
3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the worm screw is rotatable to a specified rotation angle corresponding to a specified camber angle.
4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the pin is movable from a first position in the elongated slot, the first position defining a first suspension link position, to a second position in the elongated slot, the second position defining a second suspension link position.
5. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a vehicle wheel, wherein the suspension link is connected to the vehicle wheel.
6. The assembly of claim 5 , wherein the suspension link is movable from a first position defining a first camber angle of the vehicle wheel to a second position defining a second camber angle of the vehicle wheel.
7. The assembly of claim 6 , wherein the worm screw is rotatable to a first rotation angle to move the suspension link to the first position to a second rotation angle to move the suspension link to the second position.
8. The assembly of claim 6 , wherein the second position is outboard relative to the first position.
9. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a second arm and the pin extends between the arm and the second arm.
10. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the suspension link is supported by the pin between the arm and the second arm.
11. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a computer programmed to receive user input specifying an operation mode of a vehicle, the operation mode associated with a specified camber angle, and to rotate the worm wheel to move the suspension link to provide the specified camber angle.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pin is movable from a first end of the elongated slot to a second end of the elongated slot.
13. A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
receive user input specifying an operation mode of a vehicle, the operation mode associated with a specified camber angle of a vehicle wheel; and
rotate a worm wheel and a rod extending from the worm wheel to an arm, the arm fixed to the worm wheel and connected to a suspension link, to move a pin extending from the arm to the suspension link along an elongated slot of the arm to provide the specified camber angle.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to actuate a motor to rotate the arm to move the suspension link.
15. The system of claim 13 , further comprising a worm screw rotatably engaged with the worm wheel, wherein the instructions further include instructions to rotate the worm screw to a specified rotation angle corresponding to the specified camber angle.
16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to move the suspension link from a first position defining a first camber angle of the vehicle wheel to a second position defining a second camber angle of the vehicle wheel.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to rotate the arm from a first position corresponding to the first position of the suspension link to a second position corresponding to the second position of the suspension link.
18. An assembly, comprising:
a suspension link;
a worm screw;
a worm wheel rotatably engaged with the worm screw;
an arm fixed to the worm wheel and connected to the suspension link, the arm defining an elongated slot;
a second arm; and
a pin extending from the arm to the suspension link and movable along the elongated slot to move the suspension link to a specified suspension link position, the pin extending between the arm and the second arm.
