A system and method for adjusting the tread width of a vehicle. The vehicle has a swing arm on each wheel, each activated by its own hydraulic cylinder. The vehicle's tread can be adjusted by pivoting the swing arms. The swing arms are each provided with two actuators, one to maintain the proper toe angle of the wheels as the swing arms move, and one to steer the vehicle.
