Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the pivot points (top of strut and lower ball joint), when viewed from the side. The caster SPECIFICATIONS will give the vehicle the best directional stability characteristics when loaded and driven. The caster setting is not related to tire wear.
