lengthways, while the thrust axis is the travel
direction established by the rear axle.
The units of measurement of toe are the degree
and the millimetre.
3) Camber or Inclination.
The angle formed by the equatorial plane of the
wheel and the vertical plane (Fig. 12): camber is
positive when the top of the wheel tilts outward.
The unit of measurement for camber values is
degrees.
4) Caster.
The angle formed between the vertical and the
projection of the steering axis onto the longitu-
dinal plane of the vehicle (Fig. 13).
Caster is measured with the wheels turned
through 10° or 20°.
The unit of measurement is the degree.

5) King pin angle.
The angle formed between the vertical and the
projection of the steering axis onto the transverse
plane of the vehicle (Fig. 14).
11
King pin angle is measured by locking the steer-
ing to 10° or 20°.
The unit of measurement is the degree.
6) Steering angle difference.
The difference between the values of the steer-
ing angles of the front wheels; by convention it
is measured when the wheel on the inside of the
bend is locked to 20° (Fig. 15).
The unit of measurement is the degree.
