2. Wheel alignment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_alignment

   There are several types of wheel alignment equipment systems, and each operate in different ways. [3] Laser-Based Systems: The Traditional Approach. Laser alignment systems represent a more traditional approach. These systems utilise fixed heads attached simply to, or hung from each wheel, projecting laser beams to measure angles and positions.

3. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

   Ackermann geometry. The Ackermann steering geometry (also called Ackermann's steering trapezium) [1] is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car or other vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the inside and outside of a turn needing to trace out circles of different radii.

4. Toe (automotive) - Wikipedia

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

   This can be contrasted with steer, which is the antisymmetric angle, i.e. both wheels point to the left or right, in parallel (roughly). Negative toe, or toe out, is the front of the wheel pointing away from the centreline of the vehicle. Positive toe, or toe in, is the front of the wheel pointing towards the centreline of the vehicle. [2]

5. Caster angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle

   Caster displacement moves the steering axis ahead of the axis of wheel rotation, as with the front wheels of a shopping cart. Caster angle moves the steering axis from vertical. [3] In automobile racing, the caster angle may be adjusted to optimize handling characteristics for a particular venue. This is all connected to the front wheels.

6. Wheel arrangement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_arrangement

   In rail transport, a wheel arrangement or wheel configuration is a system of classifying the way in which wheels are distributed under a locomotive. [1] Several notations exist to describe the wheel assemblies of a locomotive by type, position, and connections, with the adopted notations varying by country.

7. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

   Anti-lock brakes enable ESC to slow down individual wheels. Many ESC systems also incorporate a traction control system (TCS or ASR), which senses drive-wheel slip under acceleration and individually brakes the slipping wheel or wheels and/or reduces excess engine power until control is regained.
