Camber
The front wheels are tilted from the vertical as
viewed from the front, upper wheels are spreader than
lower ones.
This inclinations is called camber
(a)
. Camber
reduces bending or twisting of the front axle caused by
vertical load or running resistance, and also maintains
the stability in running.

Kingpin Angle
The kingpin is titled from the vertical as viewed from
the front.
This angle is called kingpin angle
(a)
. As with the
camber, kingpin angle reduces rolling resistance of the
wheels, and prevents any shimmy motion of the steering
wheel.
it also reduces steering effort.

Caster
The kingpin is titled forward as viewed from the side.
The point
(b)
of the wheel center line is behind the point
(a)
of the kingpin shaft center line.
This inclination is called caster
(c)
. Caster helps
provide steering stability.
As with the kingpin inclination, caster reduces
steering effort.
