What does a caster gauge measure?
In a nutshell, it measures a certain angle of the wheel of a car. There is the caster and camber of a tire. Camber is how a tire sits-if it lines up verticially, or has a tilt to it which could mean a serious problem. Caster is if the tire's suspension is off, the way it is supposed to hang vs a tilt that might face a slightly off angle. In the case of a caster being off, it is usually only within a few degrees, which isn't so terrible, but it isn't good. Camber tilt is usually the result of a loss of lugnuts and indicating that the tire is about to come off, or that there is some seriosu damage to the suspension. In either case for both Caster and Camber, problem with suspension can be serious, but the tools for actually checking your caster/camber can be done with a series of gauges, such as that the question is about. It can save you quite a bit to do it yourself, detect a problem before it gets out of hand or otherwise. on average, taking your car in to have these tests done can run from $70 to $100.
What vehicle uses a negative caster angle?
Hello there. Negative Caster Angles were used in many vehicles prior to 1975, including Muscle Cars, Compacts and even Sport Cars. This was done due to the pneumatic effect, which is highly prominent on radial-ply tires (Which were used on almost all vehicles up until 1975) as well as being a cheaper way to counter effect the excessive effort needed to turn muscle cars, which had large iron block engines in the front. However, these vehicles when brought into shops today will have their caster made postive. Radial-ply tires are almost never seen these days, and any increase in steering effort can be counter-acted by power steering.
What are the types of geometric angles?
Right angle, obtuse angle, acute angle, supplementary angle, complementary angle, interior angle, exterior angle, adjacent angle
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
What is the angle between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
the angle of incidence is the initial ray angle and the angle of reflection is the reflected ray angle
