LW300 V6-3.0L VIN R (2001)
Caster is a measure of the angle between the steering axis and vertical when viewed from the side of the vehicle with the wheel in the straight ahead
position. The steering axis is determined by the location of the lower control arm ball joint and the center of the strut-to-body attachment. A line drawn
through the center of the ball joint and the strut-to-body joint represents the steering axis. When the center point of the strut-to-body attachment is
rearward of the ball joint, the caster is positive. When the center of the strut-to-body attachment is forward of the ball joint, the caster is negative.
Thrust Angle
Thrust angle is the angle between the geometric centerline of the vehicle and the direction that the rear wheels track. Ideally, the thrust angle is equal
to zero.
