Abstract
A device and method for measuring the steering axis inclination of a steerable wheel is disclosed. The device includes an adaptor for mounting a caster-camber gauge to the wheel in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the wheel. The method includes the steps of moving the wheel between a toe-in position whereat the gauge is calibrated, and a toe-out position whereat the steering axis inclination of the wheel is determined from the gauge.
