Steering Geometry 1
1.
Caster = 5.37 deg
Mechanical trail = 9.411 mm
Kingpin inclination angle = 10.00 deg
Scrub radius = 32.352 mm
Kingpin lateral offset or spindle length = 14.7058 mm
2. Given,
pneumatic_trail = 25 mm,
lateral_force = 2000 N.
From the calculations, we got mechanical_trail as 9.411 mm.
restoring_moment = (mech_trail+pneuma_trail)*lateral_force
= (9.411+25)*2000
restoring_moment = 68822 N-mm
3. Changing LCA_KNUCKLE_JOINT to -777 on Y-axis changes the sign of Scrub Radius
