All of the following statements are true EXCEPT:
A)wheels with equal caster will cancel each other out, and the vehicle will steer straight.
B)too much positive caster can cause front-wheel shimmy.
C)negative caster aligns the steering axis with bumps encountered in the road, so road shock is more likely to be felt through the steering wheel.
D)too much positive caster can cause cupped tire wear if the resulting shimmy is allowed to continue.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negative caster actually positions the steering axis behind the vertical axis at the point of contact with the road, which can reduce the vehicle's stability and steering effort. It does not align the steering axis with bumps to increase road shock through the steering wheel. Positive caster, on the other hand, improves straight-line stability and steering wheel returnability after a turn.
