ABSTRACT:
The wheelless alignment apparatus includes a rigid fixture having a strut assembly coupling portion and a pair of spaced apart support leg portions. An adapter plate coupled to the strut assembly coupling portion engages the vehicle strut assembly to secure the adapter plate and the rigid fixture to the vehicle. A pair of support flanges extending from the leg portions and having a group of horizontal offset openings cooperates with a pivot bar having two spaced apart pairs of fixture height members, each member having a group of vertical offset openings. The pivot bar rests on a turntable, and coupling pins extending through corresponding horizontal and vertical offset openings enable the rigid fixture to pivot for alignment purposes.
