Method and apparatus for measuring the inclination of the wheels of an automobile
 A method and apparatus for measuring the inclination of the wheels of an automobile is provided. In accordance with one form of the present invention, there is provided a toe angle detecting device including a pair of detector plates which are normally spaced apart from each other to allow the corresponding wheel of the automobile to be located therebetween and which are pressed against the wheel from both sides when activated to determine the inclination of the wheel with respect to the longitudinal center line of the vehicle, i.e., toe angle of the wheel. In another aspect, a particular link mechanism is provided to interconnect four support members on which the four wheels of the automobile are placed, and the link mechanism is structured to determine the direction of the longitudinal center line of the automobile with respect to the reference line of the link mechanism.
