METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MEASURING AUTOMOBILE WHEEL ALIGNMENT

摘要

A method and a device for measuring wheel alignment of an automobile, where wheel alignment can be quickly and precisely measured to enhance productivity without applying the same load on a wheel installation portion as that applied in a finished vehicle state, and further, a measurement result of the wheel alignment can be quickly reflected in an assembly process of a suspension device. A wheel installation portion (5) supports a vertically movable vehicle body (2) and lifts the wheel installation portion (5) to a position at a predetermined height. The position of the wheel installation portion (5), and a toe angle and a camber angle are measured during the lift. The measured toe angle and camber angle are corrected according to a thrust angle and an attitude angle. A toe angle and a camber angle of the wheel installation portion (5) at a position in a finished state of an automobile are calculated from the corrected toe angle and camber angle.
