Abstract:
A method and apparatus for measuring the wheel alignment of a vehicle on a production line. In the measuring method, a wheel hub (55) having a plurality of hub bolts (56) for mounting a wheel to is rotated while displacements of the hub bolts are measured with displacement measuring sensors (73, 74).
