Abstract
A wheel alignment angle measuring apparatus according to the present invention computes variation energy sums E″ and E″ and a reference wheel referencing alignment angle (a toe angle T) based on an anteroposterior force variation rate dand a lateral force variation rate dgenerated in a reference wheel (RL). Furthermore, the alignment angle measuring apparatus computes a non-reference wheel referencing alignment angle (a toe angle T) of a non-reference wheel (FL), and then computes a toe angle Tto be specified for the non-reference wheel, based on the toe angle Tand a difference between a toe angle Tand the toe angle T. According to the thus configured wheel alignment angle measuring apparatus, it is possible to determine a value of an alignment angle that allows characteristics of lateral forces generated in front and rear wheels to be approximated to each other, when the alignment angles of wheels are adjusted based on the characteristics of the lateral forces generated in the wheels.
