ackerman, Steering principle that describes the operation of the wheels when steering, castor, an angle that is used to give a vehicle more directional stability, thrust, an angle that is created when the rear wheels are unable to follow the track of the front wheels, shock absorber, this component ensures the permanent contact of the tyre to the road, camber, an excessive amount of this angle will create more wear on the inside edge of the tyre, understeer, likely to happen when a vehicle has too much toe in at the front, toe in, usually set to this angle when a front wheel drive vehicle is stationary, anti roll bar, this component is used to control body roll of a vehicle, steering arm, connects the track rod end to the steering knuckle and is angled to provide a better turning circle, steering column, is the main component between the steering wheel and the steering rack, toe out, rear wheel drive vehicles have their front wheels positioned to this when stationary, king pin inclination, term incorrectly used to describe steering axis inclination, road crown effect, used to provide drainage of rain water and positive castor is used to prevent the pull effect created by this on the roads, tracking, a word commonly used to incorrectly describe wheel alignment, top mount, sits on top of the coil spring and provides to top part of a steering axis, inner, when steering round a corner, this wheel turns at a greater angle, friction, dynamic force that are actively acting against the movements of a vehicle, oversteer, used to describe what happens when the rear of a vehicle 'steps out' when cornering, scrub radius, the angle of the steering axis inclination in relation to the cross over point of the centre contact patch of the tyre
