A tool is disclosed for adjusting the suspension struts in vehicles, in order to correct wheel camber. A web is bolted to the lug bolts corresponding to the strut being adjusted. A first hydraulically actuated ram is connected to the web and to a portion of the strut, while a second such ram, which pushes in a direction opposite to the first, is connected to a chain which is in turn connected to another portion of the strut. The operator applies hydraulic pressure to the rams, which push and pull on the strut until a predetermined deflection is achieved. Because the rams act on the web in directions opposite to each other, and in approximately the same plane, the forces acting on the web are substantially cancelled, and little force is thereby placed on the lug bolts of the vehicle, which might otherwise deform or destroy the wheel bearings.
