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)

3. 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 ...

4. Camber angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camber_angle

   In cars with double wishbone suspensions, camber angle may be fixed or adjustable, but in MacPherson strut suspensions, it is normally fixed. The elimination of an available camber adjustment may reduce maintenance requirements, but if the car is lowered by use of shortened springs , the camber angle will change.

5. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   Camber changes due to wheel travel, body roll and suspension system deflection or compliance. In general, a tire wears and brakes best at -1 to -2° of camber from vertical. Depending on the tire and the road surface, it may hold the road best at a slightly different angle. Small changes in camber, front and rear, can be used to tune handling.

6. 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.

7. Automobile handling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_handling

   Of course things should be the same, left and right, for road cars. Camber affects steering because a tire generates a force towards the side that the top is leaning towards. This is called camber thrust. Additional front negative camber is used to improve the cornering ability of cars with insufficient camber gain.
