ABSTRACT:
A vehicle wheel support and alignment system includes a pair of rollers that are mounted on swing arms that independently pivot relative to a base. The rollers rotate and pivot relative to the base as they support the load of the vehicle wheel. The pivot position of the rollers relative to the base is indicative of whether the vehicle wheel is in a desired alignment. A method of determining proper wheel alignment that utilizes angular information available from the independently pivotable swing arms is also disclosed.
