On this page we will try to give you more background information on the

influence of "camber, caster, toe-in/out on the handeling of your car.

We will start of with a basic explanation first.

CAMBER
Probabely is the most familiar term of the 3.
Camber is the angle of the wheels,relative to the
road, looking at the car from the front (or rear).
Try to imagine a vertical line through the middle
of the wheel
0 degrees camber is when this imaginary line is
in square with the road. (black)
Positive camber occurs when the "middle-lines"
are in "V-shape" (red line)
Negative camber occurs when the "middlelines"are in "A-shape" (green line)

CASTER
Looking to the car from the side;
Imagine/draw an axis-line through the steeringturning-axis of the wheel.
Most of the times through the upper and lower
ball-joints or through the
centreline of the McPherson-strut.
Positive caster occurs when the top of this axisline tilts towards the rear of the
car. (green line), Negative caster is the
opposite (red line)
Positive caster provides the selfcentring-force
which makes the car go straight without holding
the steering wheel.

TOE-IN & TOE-OUT

Looking to the car from the top (or bottom) ;
Imagine lines through the middle of the wheels
in riding direction.
TOE-IN occurs when these lines are in "A-shape",
lines cross in front of the wheels. (red lines)
TOE-OUT occurs when these lines are in "Vshape"; lines cross behind wheels. (green lines)

By now we hope you're "getting the big picture";
