Description

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed is an apparatus for detecting the alignment of the wheels of a vehicle includes an adjustable, wheel- engaging and target supporting structure mountable upon a vehicle wheel rim and has spaced arms extended laterally from cardinal points of the wheel. Indicia bearing targets respectively located on the arms provide scales for indicating the angular alignment of the vehicle wheels for conventional measurements such as caster, camber, toe-in, and steering axis cant. A sighting instrument establishes a line of sight parallel to and longitudinally spaced from the vehicle. The line of sight is directed toward a target and impinges upon a discrete mark on the scale thereof. Comparison of the points of impingement upon targets located at opposite cardinal points establishes angular relations therebetween which corres- pond to alignment measurements.
