PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure a static toe angle surely with high accuracy even if the installation position of a vehicle is widely displaced from a normal position. SOLUTION: A measuring unit 18 of a static toe angle measuring instrument 10 comprises: a seating table 46 for seating a hub 16 of the vehicle 14 on a seating pedestal 48 while being movable with respect to a second base member 36 in a vehicle width direction and in a top-plan-view rotation direction; a member 70 under measurement equipped with a perpendicular measuring plane 68 outwardly extending from the seating table 46; and non-contact distance sensors 62a and 62b provided so as to confront the measuring plane 68 relative to the base member 36 and used for measuring distances x<SB>1</SB>and x<SB>2</SB>to the measuring plane 68 from two points away from each other by space y1. The measuring plane 68 is set at an acute angle of angleβwith the vehicle width direction. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
