General Information
Caster
Looking at a vehicle from the side, caster angle describes the steering axis from front to
rear. The steering knuckle is attached to a control arm or strut at the top and a control arm
at the bottom. The wheel pivots around the line between these points to steer the vehicle.
When the upper point is tilted back, this is described as positive caster. Having positive
caster tends to make the wheels self-centering increasing directional stability. Excessive
positive caster makes the wheels hard to steer, while an uneven caster will cause a pull to
one side. Overloading the vehicle or sagging rear springs will affect caster, as it will raise
the rear of the vehicle. If the rear of the vehicle is lower than normal, the caster becomes
more positive. Caster affects straight-line stability. Caster wheels used on shopping carts,
for example, employ negative caster.
