ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring and adjusting the wheel alignment of an automotive vehicle comprises bringing all of the four tires in condition for actual on-road running performance, restricting axial movement of both of the front tires alone, measuring the toe-in angles of the front and rear tires and adjusting the toe-in angle of each of the rear tires to the specification whereby the center line of an alignment adjusting apparatus is brought into alignment or parallel relation to the center line or axis of the vehicle. An apparatus is also disclosed for reducing this method to practice.
