Abstract
A wheel alignment adjusting device in which adjustment of a toe angle can be effected accurately, precisely, easily, and in a short time. A wire is anchored to a supporting frame at which an endless track is provided. An intermediate portion of the wire is trained around a pulley of a rotary encoder. A rotational angle of the supporting frame is transmitted to the rotary encoder with the rotational angle magnified. Accordingly, a minute angle can be measured accurately.
