ABSTRACT:
A supporting frame supports a measuring head which has mounted thereon a measuring element which abuts with a reference surface of a wheel mounting member so as to be inclinable about a camber axis and a toe axis. A plurality of holding arms which can be opened and closed are provided on this supporting frame. Each of the holding arms is provided with a roller. The wheel mounting member is held by these rollers in a diametrically aligned condition. Each of these rollers is made of an elastic member and is rotatably supported by fitting onto a roller axis which is parallel with a tangential line of the wheel mounting member at a point of abutment of each of the rollers with the wheel mounting member. The wheel mounting member is thus made free to incline. A suspension is moved up and down by vertically driving the supporting frame. The toe change characteristics and the camber change characteristics as a result of this vertical movement are compared with reference change characteristics to thereby discriminate the assembling accuracy of the suspension.
