ABSTRACT:
The method of this invention comprises setting the vertical members clamped to the stationary part of the hub of each steerable wheel in the same plane as the turning axis for that wheel when the weight is off that wheel, and then gauging the chamber and caster from the pendular means and cooperating scale mounted on the vertical members after the wheel is again normally loaded or weighted. The toe-in angles of the steerable wheels are gauged relative to the direction of the non-steerable wheels when the steerable wheels are put in their straight ahead or forward position by the manual steering wheel therefor controlled by the operator of the vehicle.
