A wheel that attaches to the bottom of a furniture leg Some casters fit inside the leg, others have a cup that the leg mounts into
The angle between a vertical line and the car's steering axis when viewed from the side, measured in degrees and minutes
A wheel alignment angle that refers to the forward or rearward tilt of the steering axis on the front wheels (See Alignment) A forward tilt of the steering axis is called "negative" caster while a rearward tilt is called "positive " The caster angle has no affect on tread wear but it does affect steering return and stability Most vehicle have a certain amount of positive caster The higher the caster angle the more steady the car feels at high speed (Mercedes, for example, uses a very high caster setting) But the higher the caster angle, the greater the steering effort The caster angle on many strut suspensions is fixed at the factory and is not adjustable
The angle between the steering axis and the vertical, as viewed from the side It is considered positive when the steering axis is inclined rearward at top
The forward or backward tilt of a car's front wheels that, when aligned properly, will make them follow naturally in a straight line The caster setting is what helps the car return to straight after turning a corner
(Otomotiv) The forward or backward tilt of a car's front wheels that, when aligned properly, will make them follow naturally in a straight line. The caster setting is what helps the car return to straight after turning a corner
The deviation from vertical of the axis about which the front or steering wheels pivot Caster is termed "positive" when the steering axis is tipped toward the rear of the vehicle, and "negative" when this axis tips toward the front of the vehicle
Tilting of steering axis forward or backward to provide directional steering ability Positive caster recommended for drag racing
defined as the forward and backward angle of the wheel in relation to the steering axis
Almost every car has some caster built-in Caster is the angle that the car's front wheels pivot on when turning Most on-road Touring Car type kits use between 5 and 10 degrees of caster Off-road kits like buggies and trucks have about 25 to 30 degrees of 'kick-up' on the front axles More caster generally gives more steering going into a turn, but less coming out The opposite is also true: less caster give less steering going into a turn (initial steering), but more steering as you exit Caster also gives more stability on straightaways, but this effect is more pronounced in 2WD vehicles
