Abstract:
A vehicle wheel support device for use in a wheel alignment assembly, said device comprising:a floating plate assembly movably supported relative to a base upon which a vehicle is positioned; said floating plate assembly including a pair of rollers wherein each of said rollers defines a longitudinal axis disposed in a fixed non-parallel orientation with respect to each other such that each of said longitudinal axes may be contained in any plane such that the plane of one said longitudinal axis is not parallel to the plane of the other said longitudinal axis, said floating plate being movably positionable such that a vehicle wheel may be located between said pair of rollers and to isolate the vehicle wheel from the base so as to stabilize all forces acting thereon and wherein said pair of rollers rotates the wheel so that predetermined wheel alignment parameters maybe measured.
