CASTER – WHAT IS IT?
Caster is the backward or forward tilt of the steering axis.
Vehicle manufacturers are aware of the advantages of caster and
as each new model is released the amount of caster specified
increases.
Why, because the disadvantages of high levels of castor are
being overcome. Rack and pinion steering means less play, lower
Ackerman levels, smaller scrub radius (zero is now very common),
better and lower profile radial tyres means less sidewall
deflection and higher tolerance to greater slip angles. But the
greatest obstacle, that of heavy steering effort, has all but
disappeared with the universal acceptance of power steering.
High levels of positive caster equate to dynamic negative camber
on turn when you need it most. Whiteline continues to put heavy
emphasis on additional positive caster when designing new
suspension packages.
CAMBER – WHAT IS IT?
Camber is the inclination of the wheel from the vertical when viewed from the
front. When the top of the wheel leans out you have positive camber, lean in
equal’s negative camber.
Static negative camber is used to compensate for body roll, body distortion and
tyre roll under when cornering. Stiffer bodies and tyre sidewalls are in and
unnecessary suspension compliance is out. Therefore the previous requirements
for large amounts of static negative camber are disappearing. Whiteline strut
braces are good for maintaining camber angles under cornering loads as they
further minimise body flex.
Its important to highlight the fact that camber settings are ultimately a
personal thing. That is, Whiteline can provide an indicative range to start from
but the final number will depend on your driving style, average driving
conditions, tyre size and many other things. You need to start with a relevant
number, then monitor tyre wear and compensate if necessary.
Whiteline have a range of camber adjusting products available to achieve the
optimum settings.
