Abstract
A device and method for determining parameters for adjusting the directions of travel of two steerable axles of a vehicle relative to each other is disclosed, wherein one measuring unit for measuring the individual toe angle of a vehicle wheel associated with the measuring unit is present on each side of the vehicle such that a first measuring unit is assigned to the wheel of the first of the steerable axles on the vehicle's left side and the second measuring unit is assigned to the wheel of the second of the steerable axles on the vehicle's right side, wherein the output signals from the measuring units are supplied to an evaluating unit, wherein the difference in the directions of travel of the two steerable axles is determined in the evaluating unit from the signals supplied from the measuring units and is provided as an output signal from the evaluating unit.
