  • Patent number: 5781286
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for measuring the wheel positions of double-track motor vehicles according to which the relevant wheel angles, such as the track, the king pin inclination, the inclination of the steering knuckle pivot, the axle pin rake, the eccentricity or the like, are detected by means of measuring heads mounted on the wheel rims of the vehicle wheels. The measurement data is evaluated and displayed by a processing means. The measuring heads are pivotable around an extension of the axis of rotation of the respectively related vehicle wheel. To be able to carry out measurements even with the vehicle wheels rotating, the measuring heads are held in their predetermined measuring position by means of a position control.
