Abstract
An alignment frame for affixing a sensor configured to measure one or more alignment angles to a wheel of a vehicle can include a pair of arms configured to contact a tire mounted on the wheel to support the alignment frame, a center base configured to receive a first bar, a second bar, and a third bar orthogonally aligned in a linear alignment such that the first bar is at ninety degrees from the horizontal axis defined by the second and the third bar, and a spacer positioned on each of the first, second, and third bars and configured to align the bars with a face of the rim so as to center the center base with respect to the rim of the wheel. The center base can receive a mounting portion of the sensor to center the sensor with the respect to the rim of the wheel.
