Summary:PURPOSE:To enhance the measuring accuracy for the wheel alignment. CONSTITUTION:A pair of non-contacting distance measuring sensors 6, 6 are installed facing the side of a wheel to be measured W, which is rotated one turn in the condition that the sensors 6, 6 are at a standstill, and the distance from the wheel side face is measured continuously. Following the measurement with the wheel W rotated, the sensors 6, 6 are rotated one turn in the condition that the wheel W is held stationarily, and the distance from the wheel side face is measured continuously. Specified calculations are conducted on the basis of the measuring data with the wheel in rotation and the data with the sensors rotated, and the toe angle theta is determined and indicated on a display device.
