The basic purpose of providing caster angle on wheels is to
A
Prevent uneven tyre wear
B
Maintain directional control
C
Bring the road contact of the tyre under the point of load
D
Compensate for wear in the steering linkage
Correct Answer: Maintain directional control
Excessive caster angle will make the steering heavier and less responsive, although in racing large caster angles are used for improving camber gain in cornering.
