Camber is the leaning of the tire in or out at the top. Positive camber is out at the top and negative camber is in at the top.

Caster is the leaning of the top of the tire either forwards or backwards. The caster that is built into the normal street car is there for to make the car easier to drive and not wear tires.

Toe out is the difference in the measurments between the center of the front and rear of thefront tires. If the front of the tires are closer in at the front,you have a toe in condition. If they are farther apart in the front than in the rear,you have a toe out condition.

Stagger
STAGGER; If you take two tires and the right side is larger than the left

side and you roll them one complete turn, the right side tire will travel farther.

And that is what you are looking for on an oval short track,is for the out side

tire to travel the farther distance on one complete lap. Now what you need is

a good starting point.

Too much stagger will cause the car to be loose and want to come around on

you. Too little stagger will cause the car to become tight or push the front end

towards the wall
