ABSTRACT:
An automobile wheel alignment method and apparatus are provided for duplicating the pre-determined readings for the parameters of camber, caster, and toe, and allowing for the precise adjustment of such parameters at a location remote from the conventional alignment machine. First, second, and third indicators are provided, along with a gauge element, for duplicating the readings for camber, caster, and toe. Also provided are a housing for containing the indicators, and mounting means for removably securing the housing to a hub assembly after the wheel has been removed.
