Camber is the vertical reference line of tires relative angle,
when a wheel is tilted outward at the top, the camber is positive.
When a wheel is tilted inward at the top, the camber is negative.
Camber settings can affect the vehicle direction control and tire
wear.
A variety of suspension and steering devices are designed to
keep the wheels perpendicular to the ground and move along
the straight road to minimize the tire tread wear and deliver the
traction, when starting the vehicle.
Improper camber settings will cause excessive tire wear or
uneven wear. Excessive positive camber will cause the outer
tire tread wear, when the load is higher at the outer tread side,
it will cause such uneven wear.
Excessive negative camber will cause the inner tire tread wear,
when the load is higher at the inner tread side, it will cause
uneven wear.

Caster is the kingpin axis forward or backward tilt angle. Caster
is observed from the side when measure the angle between
the steering axis and the vertical line.
Backward tilt from the vertical line, is called as positive caster.
Forward tilt is called the negative caster. The steering axis
center line intersects with the ground, tire contacts the road
surface at a central point. The distance between these two
points is called the caster. Caster can provide straight road
driving stability: if the vehicle has a positive caster, when
turning, the left journal will have a tendency to move downward.
(This is due to the journal rotation along the tilted axis.).
However, because the journal is fixed to the wheel assembly,
besides the ground prevents it from moving down, the journal
will not actually move down, the left steering knuckle will be
forced to move up and down. This allows the body to rise
slightly. After turning, the steering wheel is release, the raised
body weight will force the steering knuckle move down, and
make the journal back to the original straight ahead position.
