What is caster?

posted on 2/9/2017 5:35:04 AM

Q: What is caster? – Mr. Roderick

 

A: Mr. Roderick,

Caster is the angle between the steering axis and the true vertical. Think of how caster wheels extend from the swivel points on a shopping cart. This setting can affect straight tracking and how “light” or “heavy” your steering feels. As with camber, caster is not adjustable on many front-wheel drive cars. Faulty caster indicates that a part is worn or bent and needs replacement. Visit Tire Pros of Frederick for more auto repair tips.
