Spindle/king pin angle?

[katy]

Are the spindle and king pin at 90° angle? Or?

Are you asking about camber?

Are you asking about camber?

No. As posted, asking about the spindle/king pin angle.

 

[old ugly]

no

the spindle has an angle built into it to give you a camber angle and inclination. its why the car lifts when you turn the streeing wheel. gravity brings the car back to level again and the steering wheel goes back to center when the car is driven down the road.

thats the best i can explain it sorry

but they are not at 90 degrees to each other.

No, can't be , or, shouldn't be.

Basically all 4 angles should work together. Camber, castor, KPI, and toe.

Thanks

FYI The angle of inclination of the Kingpin should a line to the center of the tire.

The angle is 7 degrees.

With the king pin in the axle at 7°, and camber spec is 2°+, the spindle to king pin angle should be 9°. Is this correct?
