To adjust toe angle without any effect of backlash and with less number of workers by finding idle angle and offset amount of spoke angle and from them finding relationship between a spoke angle and a toe angle before they are adjusted and relationship between those angles to be referred and adjusting the toe angle from the obtained corrected value of the toe angle.
A spoke angle sensor and a toe angle sensor are assembled (ST01) and a steering wheel is cut to right and left by as much as designated angle manually (ST02). Whereby, the idle angle and offset amount of the spoke angle of the steering wheel are obtained (ST03). Then the relationship between the spoke angle and the toe angle before they are corrected is found (ST04). Then the relationship between the spoke angle and the toe angle to be referred is found (ST05). Then the steering wheel is turned to adjust it within designated spoke angle (ST06). Then the corrected value of the toe angle in the designated spoke angle is found and displayed in a display means (ST07) and the toe angle is adjusted as observing it (ST08).
