Caster of a steerable vehicle wheel is defined herein to be relative to the thrust line of the non-steerable wheels. This incorporates caster into the “total alignment” concept. A method of measuring caster in accordance with this definition is derived. The restrictions, limitations, and accuracy of the method are investigated, and practical implementation procedures are suggested.
