2. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

   A linkage between these hubs pivots the two wheels together, and by careful arrangement of the linkage dimensions the Ackermann geometry could be approximated. This was achieved by making the linkage not a simple parallelogram, but by making the length of the track rod (the moving link between the hubs) shorter than that of the axle, so that ...

3. Steering knuckle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_knuckle

   The wheel and tire assembly attach to the hub or spindle of the knuckle where the tire/wheel rotates while being held in a stable plane of motion by the knuckle/suspension assembly. In the attached photograph of a double-wishbone suspension, the knuckle is shown attached to the upper control arm at the top and the lower control arm at the bottom.

4. Caster angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle

   In this case the lateral forces at the tire do not act at the center of the contact patch, but at a point behind the center. This distance is called the pneumatic trail and varies with speed, load, steer angle, surface, tire type, tire pressure and time. A good starting point for this is 30 mm behind the center of the contact patch. [citation ...

5. Scrub radius - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius

   Because the tire cannot be forced into the ground as the spindle travels in an arc, the tire/wheel assembly raises the suspension and thus causes the tire/wheel assembly to seek the low (center) return point when it is allowed to return. Thus, since it has a tendency to maintain or seek a straight ahead position, less positive caster is needed ...

6. Centerlock wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerlock_wheel

   A modern centerlock hub on a McLaren MP4/14 Formula One car. Most modern centerlock wheels are fastened to the hub by a single large hex nut. [7] A hollow, tapered shaft centers the wheel on the hub. Torque is transmitted by pins and matching holes at the hub-wheel interface.

7. Wheelbase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelbase

   where is the force on the front tires, is the force on the rear tires, is the wheelbase, is the distance from the center of mass (CM) to the rear wheels, is the distance from the center of mass to the front wheels (+ = ), is the mass of the vehicle, and is the gravity constant. So, for example, when a truck is loaded, its center of gravity ...

9. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   Wheel studs are the bolts that are on your mounting hub and are used along with lug nuts to attach the wheel to the car. The bolt hole circle is the circle that the center of each bolt aligns with. The second number in a bolt pattern is the diameter of this circle. [2] The bolt circle has the same center point as the mounting hub to ensure that ...
