Caster and Kingpin Inclination

Branch ID: 20 Request Number: 50000020

Table 1.

Component	Unit	Comment
1 (X): Left Caster Angle	deg	The magnitude is the global side view angle between the left wheel kingpin axis and global vertical. The sign is positive when the kingpin axis goes towards the front of the vehicle at the bottom and towards the rear of the vehicle at the top. See Figure 1
2 (Y): Right Caster Angle	deg	The magnitude is the global side view angle between the right wheel kingpin axis and global vertical. The sign is positive when the kingpin axis goes towards the front of the vehicle at the bottom and towards the rear of the vehicle at the top. See Figure 1
3 (Z): Average Caster Angle	deg	The mean of components 1 and 2.
4 (RX): Left Kingpin Inclination Angle	deg	The magnitude is the global front view angle between the left wheel kingpin axis and global vertical. The sign is positive when the kingpin axis goes outboard at the bottom and inboard at the top. See Figure 2.
5 (RY): Right Kingpin Inclination Angle	deg	The magnitude is the global front view angle between the right wheel kingpin axis and global vertical. The sign is positive when the kingpin axis goes outboard at the bottom and inboard at the top. See Figure 2.
6 (RZ): Average Kingpin Inclination Angle	deg	The mean of components 4 and 5.
