DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Caster

Caster is used to describe the vertical fore-aft tilt of the steering axis. This axis is defined by a line drawn through the centers of the spindle ball joints and is measured relative to the ground. Because of this, raising (or lowering) the rear without changing front ride height will subsequently decrease (or increase) the caster angle by the same amount the frame angle changes.
