A McPherson strut system and double wishbone suspension system is adapted to provide adjustable camber of the suspended wheel responsive to steering of the vehicle. The upper member of a McPherson strut or the upper link of a double wishbone is provided with a slide permitting horizontally supported freedom of movement with respect to the chassis. By providing a link through the slide to the kingpin, camber adjustment responsive to steering motion is attained for McPherson and double wishbone suspensions. The camber adjusting apparatus for steered wheels of a vehicle has a wheel support for each steered wheel that rotatably mounts the wheel and is pivotable about a generally horizontal axis that is transverse to an axis of rotation of the wheel. A steering mechanism pivotally moves the wheel support about a steering axis for steering the wheels, and the camber adjusting mechanism located either behind or in front of the wheel suspension tilts the wheel support relative to a vertical plane as a function of and in response to pivotal steering movements of the support structure about the horizontal axis.
