2. Kingpin (automotive part) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin_(automotive_part)

   While no current-era automobile front suspension incorporates a physical kingpin, the axis defined by the steering knuckle pivot points acts as a "virtual kingpin" about which the wheel turns. This virtual kingpin is inclined toward the centerline of the vehicle at an angle called the kingpin angle.

3. Scrub radius - Wikipedia

   Zero scrub radius (top) positive scrub radius (center) negative scrub radius (bottom) In an automobile's suspension system, the scrub radius is the distance in front view between the king pin axis and the center of the contact patch of the wheel, where both would theoretically touch the road.

4. Sliding pillar suspension - Wikipedia

   1908 Sizaire-Naudin Schematic of a later 'inverted' sliding pillar, as for the Morgan. A sliding pillar suspension is a form of independent front suspension for light cars. The stub axle and wheel assembly are attached to a vertical pillar or kingpin which slides up and down through a bush or bushes which are attached to the vehicle chassis, usually as part of transverse outrigger assemblies ...

5. Dual pivot steering geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_pivot_steering_geometry

   In either case, the difference is that the single bottom wishbone is replaced by a pair of suspension links forming a trapezoidal four-bar linkage. This allows the kingpin to pivot about a pivot point nearer the center of the wheel's contact patch instead of the traditional pivot point at the ball joint of the bottom wishbone. [2]

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_suspension...

   Automotive suspension design is an aspect of automotive engineering, concerned with designing the suspension for cars and trucks. Suspension design for other vehicles is similar, though the process may not be as well established. The process entails Selecting appropriate vehicle level targets; Selecting a system architecture
