Seriously tho' The angle of the wheel relative to the body, toe-in means front of the wheels are closer together than the rear... helps turn-in to corners.... Camber looking down from above lower edge sticks out further than the top edge is negative camber... generates more grip in corners, but can wear tyres if excessive... Castor mainly on the front... a complex subject as it varies with steering lock, but simply. More castor gives less understeer but too much wears tyres. HTH DunxC P.S. This is a hugely complex engineering problem, but people like Rick play with different settings to get something that "feels" great to drive. P.P.S. This is not meant to be a definitive lecture in vehicle dynamics for any experts out there....
