ABSTRACT:
An adapter that eliminates that need for a clamp during the alignment of vehicle wheels. The adapter is particularly useful in tires that have lipless wheels, rim-guard tires, stiffer sidewalls and larger diameter wheels, which have caused problems when using traditional clamps. The adapter is cylindrical in shape and has a first end and a second end. The first end is attached to the alignment instrument. The second end is attached to a hole located in the center of a plate that is attached to the vehicle hub assembly through two or more lug bolts. The plate is positioned substantially parallel to the vehicle wheel and the alignment head is then attached directly to the hub through the clampless adapter, providing for improved accuracy in alignment measurements and corrections.
