ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for measuring the wheel alignment of a vehicle on a production line. In the measuring method, a wheel hub (55) having a plurality of hub bolts (56) for mounting a wheel to is rotated while displacements of the hub bolts are measured with measuring sensors (73, 74). The wheel alignment is measured by calculating an angle of inclination (0) of the wheel hub on the basis of the measured displacements of the hub bolts.
