Abstract
The invention relates to a means for limiting angular displacement by the steering mechanism for the wheels of a vehicle by providing a pin-shaped stroke limiter on the steering knuckle for one of the front wheels which coacts with an adjustable, removable and exchangeable stop on the suspension arm for this wheel. The stroke limiter has a curved abutment surface which on angular movement of the wheel abuts against the adjustable stop on the suspension arm, at different levels and at various positions of the suspension arm. The relative movement of the curved abutment surface of the pin-shaped stroke limiter may be oblique to the surface of the adjustable stop.
