ABSTRACT:
A toe angle detecting apparatus includes a wheel supporting device for supporting thereon each wheel attached to a vehicle. The wheel supporting device is rotatably mounted on a vertical support shaft. A toe angle detecting device is rotatably mounted on the support shaft and provided with a pair of contact shoes spaced horizontally at a predetermined distance from each other. The toe angle detecting device is rotatable independently of the wheel supporting device. The contact shoes are displaceable vertically and displaceable radially with respect to the support shaft, and are brought into contact with the wheel at predetermined portions thereof to rotate the toe angle detecting device about the support shaft toward a toe direction of the wheel. An angle detector is provided for detecting an angle at which the toe angle detecting device is rotated about the support shaft.
