To quickly and accurately adjust the toe of an automobile by so surely holding and surely rotating the tie rod hexagonal sections of tie rods with different diameters that the center of the tie rod hexagonal sections is surely positioned at a rotating center.
A holding means 16 comprises a pair of opposed contact sections 20 for bringing into direct contact with the tie rod hexagonal sections 12 and an opening/closing drive mechanism 22 allowing the pair of contact sections 20 to separate from and approach the tie rod hexagonal sections 12 in association with each other. The tie rod hexagonal sections 12 are surely held by the pair of contact sections 20 irrespective of diameters of the tie rods 10 by properly changing widths across flats of the pair of opposed contact parts 20. The tie rod hexagonal sections 12 are rotated to adjust the toe by rotating the holding means 16 by a rotationally driving means 18.
