steering geometry

Steering geometry refers to the design and angles of a vehicle’s wheels and suspension components that affect how the vehicle handles, especially when turning. Key aspects include the caster angle (tilt of the steering axis), camber angle (tilt of the wheels), and toe angle (alignment of wheels side-to-side). Proper geometry ensures stable steering, even tire wear, and predictable handling. When correctly aligned, these angles help the vehicle follow the driver’s intended path smoothly, reduce tire wear, and improve safety during maneuvers. Proper steering geometry is essential for optimal vehicle performance and driving comfort.
