A steering wheel having a 'T' type spoke is attached to a steering column, with an axis of symmetry of steering wheel being angularly biased through an angle y relative to the forward direction of a vehicle, with the direction of the vehicle being stabilized on a stage of a toe-in tester. The vehicle is placed on the stage with the front wheels of the vehicle mounted on drive rollers, and the drive rollers are moved in a manner to place the axes of the drive rollers perpendicular to the axis of the stage as well as to the planes of rotation of the front wheels. Thereby, slide-slipping angles alpha R, alpha L and camber angles CNR, CNL of the right and left front wheels respectively, are determined so as to determine the compensating angle y, according to the equation Y=A( alpha R+ alpha L)+b(CNR-CNL)+c, WHEREIN A,B,C REPRESENT CONSTANTS DETERMINED BY THE TYPE OF VEHICLE INVOLVED.
