There is described an instrument and method for adjusting toe relative to the tracking axis of the vehicle by initially measuring the toe angles of the two front or rear wheels relative to the planes of the other two wheels on the same respective sides of the vehicle, and then adjusting the toe angles by one-half the difference between the initially measured angles.

Wheel alignment method and apparatus

A MacPherson Strut Compressor, with which a strut may be safely dismantled for repair, employs a fluid operated piston-cylinder, mounted to an adjustable upper platen to provide compression between a push platen and a lower base platen.

This invention relates generally to wheel alignment devices, and specifically to such a device in which accurate toe can be established even if the angular relationship of the device to a reference line, such as the horizontal, changes during the toeing procedure.

Automotive toe-in gauge

A caster-camber gauge includes an automatic interlock for presetting the caster and camber wheels, and a spirit level which is laterally mounted for calibration of the gauge.

Wheel alignment instrument clamp

A wheel clamp incorporates a pair of leg members each having a pair of spaced apart rim grippers, the leg members being simultaneously adjustable toward and away from a center mount assembly having a mounting surface supported for limited universal movement.

Wheel clamp

An optical wheel alignment instrument employs a pair of light weight units each housing a light source and optics including an adjustable mirror for directing a reticle image on a target screen of the other unit, and magnetic devices extend from the approximate centers of gravity of the units for mounting thereof to the hubs of the wheels to be aligned.
