A wheel alignment gauge comprising a pair of beams, each adapted to be mounted on or located against a different one of a pair of vehicle wheels or axles for such wheels, each of the beams is provided with a pivoted arm at an end of the beam which projects beyond the outer circumference of the wheel and the arms are interconnected by an elastic link, each of said arms is provided with read-out means to give an indication of the angular position of the arm relative to the beams, and thereby of the angular mis-alignment (toe angle) between the plane of rotation of the vehicle wheels or plane of rotation about the axles for the wheels; the read-out means being adjustable relative to the associated pivoted arm in order to allow for the steering angle at which the “toe out on turns”of the wheel is measured and provide an accurate direct reading gauge.

A wheel alignment gauge comprising a pair of beams; means for mounting said beams on or against a different one of a pair of vehicle wheels or axles for such wheels, such that one end of each beam extends beyond the outer circumference of the wheel; each beam has an arm which is pivotally mounted at the end thereof which extends beyond the circumference of the wheel, each of said arms having a pointer which sweeps a scale calibrated to give an indication of the angular position of the arm with respect to the beam; each arm is provided with means by which it may be connected to the other arm with an elastic link, said means being adjustable between: a central position in which the line of action of the elastic link through the pivot point of each arm will be parallel to the axis of rotation of the vehicle wheels, when the pointer is on the zero point of the scale; and a position displaced to one side of said central position, such that the line of action of the elastic link through the pivot point subtends a pre-determined angle qq
