This is the inclination of the top or bottom of the wheel to lean in or out more at one end. hence inner tyre contact area scrubs more to the inside (negative camber)
Camber is adjusted via rose jointed TCA's or more commonly, by eccentric strut top mounts.

Castor is the angle through which the fr strut is mounted & the plane travels up & down on.
Typically adjsted on a Nova by the tie rod brackets or altering the length of the tiebars.

Toe (in or out) is the direction each wheel on an axle points. Its tuned or adjusted by the track rod ends on the track rods (arms off the steering rack). Toe in, fr edge of wheels point inwards. Toe out, fr edge of wheels point out.

How is castor measured?

Is it the angle that the strut is at when static or is it the angle that the hub changes when turning from lock to lock. Im pretty sure its the latter as the angle when static will depend on your rear ride height etc

Now youre just testing me!

Off to buy a book on chassis design.
