Abstract: An air deflector for a vehicle A -pillar and side view mirror is formed as a unitary structure including an A-pillar vane and tipper and lower support arms. The vane is formed as a longitudinally elongated panel curved in a lateral direction. The vane is mountable adjacent to and spaced from a vehicle A-pillar with a concave surface facing the A-pillar. An upper arm extends laterally from a top end of the vane and encases a vehicle mirror upper support and a lower arm extends laterally from a bottom end of the vane and encases a vehicle mirror lower support. The vane is configured to control a flow air past the A-pillar and the upper arm and lower arms are shaped to guide an air flow around the mirror supports.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drive axle carrier assembly and a method for measuring the angular orientation of a powertrain input shaft of a drive axle carrier assembly. A first axle end and a second axle end extend from opposite sides from a housing of the drive axle carrier assembly. An input shaft extends into the housing and is provided with an axis of rotation. The housing includes a measuring surface oriented at a predetermined angular relationship with respect to an axis of rotation of the input shaft. The angular orientation of the measuring surface with respect to a reference plane is measurable. The angular orientation of the axis of rotation with respect to the horizontal plane is determinable using the measured angular orientation of the measuring surface with respect to the reference plane and the predetermined angular relationship between the measuring surface and the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A multiple axis hinge arrangement for a truck hood includes a first hinge arrangement and a second hinge arrangement laterally spaced and mounted at first and second sides, respectively, of a front end of a truck. The first and second hinge arrangements include horizontal hinge elements that support a truck hood for pivotal movement on a horizontal axis relative to a truck frame and include vertical hinge elements that provide vertical pivot axes. A coupling member is provided at each of the first and second hinge arrangements allowing the selected hinge arrangement to be uncoupled from the front end of the truck so the hood is free to pivot on the vertical axis of the coupled arrangement.
