Camber is the angle between the vertical reference (perpendicular to the road surface) and the line that runs through the center of the tire/ wheel.

  • Kingpin inclination angle is the angel between the vertical reference an d the line through the center of the kingpin.
  • Spindle build angle is the angle between the line that runs through the kingpin axis and the line that runs through the center of the tire wheel. 
  • Scrub radius is the distance between the points where the white and green lines meet the road surface.
