Caster is the angle, indicated in degrees, at which the steering knuckle axis (C) deviates from the vertical (A) when viewed from the side.

When the steering knuckle inclines towards the rear as shown in the figure, caster is said to be positive (+). When the steering knuckle inclines towards
the front, caster is said to be negative (-).

Caster tends to keep the wheels pointing straight ahead and in doing so assists the driver in steering a straight path. In addition, more powerful steering
wheel return action is obtained through a greater caster angle.

Caster is not adjustable.
