Answer ( Option A)

Castor

Solution

Explanation:

  • Castor is the angle between the steering axis and the vertical in the plane of the wheel.
  • If your upper ball joint or strut mount is located more toward your vehicle’s rear than the lower ball joint, your vehicle has a positive caster.
  • Positive castor improves the straight-line stability of the car
  • When the upper ball joint or strut mount is more towards the vehicle’s front than the lower ball joint, the vehicle has a negative caster.
  • While a positive caster has several advantages, there are no advantages to a negative caster in modern vehicles.
  • Caster angle refers to the location of your vehicle’s upper ball joint or strut mount compared to the lower ball joint
