What is Caster and Why It's Extremely Important

I’m building a off road go kart , what angle caster should I use. Please help. I don’t want to much or to little.

Very good information

Good video, the bicycle analogy really brought it home for me. Thank you.

Great, but your video need to be explained in graphical show, it is normal methodology for any geometry.

Looks like that Honda took more of a front end hit than my
04 corolla . The steering fights a little bit at highway speed .
I guess that is a symptom of not enough positive caster

Thanks bro keep it up

This is why a bicycle has positive on the front forks. Correct? Same with motorcycles.
Edit: I like your videos btw. Ty

my toyota verso uk says is not adjustable but u can dobthat by moving strut mounts as they have space left where bolts goes through the body

How can I add positive caster to a vehicle that isn’t adjustable? I’ve got an F450 and it has almost 0° caster

Awsome.

I was told my caster was bent? Is that even possible?? If so, what can i do to fix it? An alignment? Thnx

☝👍

W italians

I just had my 4runner lifted and new wheels/ tires. Had an alignment and camber adjusted but it’s still a TAD negative and by a tad it’s almost unnoticeable. But being that it’s not exactly 0° is that an issue at all?

So very very well explained

👍

Excellent video and information. Thank you for sharing 🙏👍

Out of all cars in the world you had to present 4ws prelude. It would be awesome if you were showing rear caster :) cheers

What if I have all new front end but the caster is still off

So on a macpherson strut setup, the top pivot point would be at the strut mount right?

I remember changing the struts out on a Toyota and forgot to mark them before removing. Alignment was so far out, the guy at the alignment shop wasnt too happy about that 🤣 Gave him more work I guess.
PS- loved the Bicycle analogy, great way to explain that positive caster 👍

Keep it up man! I want to see you recommend some used vehicles again adjusting to inflation 😂

Keep loading don’t stop 🛑 don’t kill the Chanel brother … you’re one of the fist Mecanic Chanel I watch …5 years ago love to see you keep the good job 👏

What caster angle works best for strippers? 😲

the UNMENTIONABLE?!!...
smh really? Avoiding this rabbit hole 🐇 🕳 I've gotten good at.

Hola from Mazatlán for now! Shopping carts good example too

There is no caster on front or all wheel drive cars,CLICKBAIT!!

keep them coming 👍

Nice garage👀Doesn't have liquor cabinet though😪

I know Chinese, and it still made no sense. Nah, great video and explanation

Very helpful, thank you.

Probably wouldn't hurt to apply some castor oil on the steering linkage when you're done

Why bother to have positive castor for the front steered wheels? To increase camber angle with increase of steering angle to aid cornering performance, as well as provide self centering steering via literally jacking up the front end of the vehicle as the steering is turned.

The highlight of the channel is the very detailed and informative explanations! I've been a long time subscriber!

I REALLY appreciate your explaining this. I had heard the term, but never really understood it. Thank you!

Great content

How is the insulation working for you in the winter now?

Excellent Video !!!!!

You are amazing !

🔥👍🏽

My man
My imaginary has limits🤣
But all the love

Explaining caster...hmmm, does that mean you're a telecaster?

The bicycle example really helped. Thank you!

Bicycle example was a great explanation!

Great idea to show engine stand casters I can never remember The difference between camber and caster but now caster on an engine stand or shopping cart is way simpler to remember.

For some reason, American autos used negative caster way back. I noticed this in the 60's because the front wheels would look like they are laying down towards the outside when turning. I noticed the difference when I saw German cars turn.

I think caster might be similar to rake angle in a motorcycle. That helps me understand the concept better.

Thanks dude, I didn’t know this.

i wonder why car manufactures don't do negative caster for the back wheels?
