  2. Wheel alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_alignment

    These adjustments are the camber, caster and toe. [2] On some cars, not all of these can be adjusted on every wheel. These three parameters can be further categorized into front and rear (with no caster on the rear, typically not being steered wheels). In summary, the parameters are: Front: Caster (left & right) Front: Camber (left & right)

  4. Camber angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camber_angle

    The 1960 Milliken MX1 Camber Car has a large negative camber. Camber angle is one of the angles made by the wheels of a vehicle; specifically, it is the angle between the vertical axis of a wheel and the vertical axis of the vehicle when viewed from the front or rear.

  5. Caster angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle

    Front suspension of a race car ‍ — the caster angle is formed by the line between upper and lower ball joint An example of a chopper with a raked fork at an extreme caster angle The caster angle [ 1 ] or castor angle [ 2 ] is the angular displacement of the steering axis from the vertical axis of a steered wheel in a car , motorcycle ...

  6. Toe (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_(automotive)

    Toe is usually adjustable in production automobiles, even though caster angle and camber angle are often not adjustable. Maintenance of front-end alignment , which used to involve all three adjustments, currently involves only setting the toe; in most cases, even for a car in which caster or camber are adjustable, only the toe will need adjustment.

  7. Beam axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_axle

    In turns, the outside wheel is often subjected to adverse camber angles when the inside wheel hits a bump, which can suddenly reduce cornering grip and destabilize the vehicle. If one wheel on a beam axle slips off a steep incline or is knocked to one side by a rock at high speed, the other wheel will also follow because of the physical ...

  8. Self aligning torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_aligning_torque

    Self aligning torque , slip angle , and camber angle are also shown. Self aligning torque ( SAT ), also known as aligning torque or aligning moment ( Mz , moment about the z direction ), is the torque that a tire creates as it rolls along, which tends to steer it, i.e. rotate it around its vertical axis.

  9. Stance (vehicle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stance_(vehicle)

    Camber is a measurement from the centerline of the wheel/tire relative to the road's surface. Negative camber is when the top of the wheel/tire angles inward toward the center of the vehicle. When done sparingly, negative camber greatly improves the handling characteristics of a vehicle.
