1. A method for the in-situ determination of vehicle wheel position using an inertial measurement unit (IMU), the method comprising:

  • providing an IMU comprising at least two accelerometers mounted on a wheel of a vehicle;

    using the accelerometers, measuring linear acceleration on the wheel;

    exclusively comparing only linear acceleration measurements on the wheel; and

    ,in response to comparing the linear acceleration measurements on the wheel, determining a wheel toe angle.
