Technician A says that camber pulls to the least positive. Technician B says that caster pulls to the most positive. Who is correct?

In vehicle alignment, camber and caster are crucial angles that can affect the handling and tracking of a vehicle, but the statements made by both technicians regarding how camber and caster influence steering behavior are incorrect.

Camber refers to the tilt of the wheels from vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle. A vehicle with negative camber has the tops of the wheels tilted inward, while positive camber has them tilted outward. When camber is not properly aligned, it can cause the vehicle to pull towards the side with less negative camber (or more positive camber), but it does not specifically pull to the "least positive." This means that Technician A's assertion about camber pulling to the least positive is misplaced in terminology and understanding of the camber's effect.

Caster, on the other hand, is the angle of the steering axis in relation to the vertical axis when viewed from the side. Positive caster can improve stability and help the steering return to a neutral position after a turn. However, caster does not cause the vehicle to pull towards the most positive. Instead, an improper caster angle can lead to irregular steering feel and tracking. Therefore, the characterization made by Technician B that caster pulls to the most positive is equally mistaken.
