I assumed it was the forces created by the wheels rolling, like a gyrograph forcing them to be as straight as possible. Isn't; /html/alpines/2000-05/msg00070.html (7,821 bytes)
3. Re: Subject: steering cross tube (score: 1): Author: GSTROM99@aol.com; Date: Wed, 17 May 2000 18:50:57 EDT; The force that "centers" the steering is "caster". Caster is the vertical angle of the upper and lower ball joints/pivots. The more the upper pivot point is back from the lower, the more caster angle; /html/alpines/2000-05/msg00071.html (7,950 bytes)

The farther the top of the spindle is behind the bottom, the more likely you are to go straight. The more straight up and down, the tighter/quicker you will; /html/alpines/2000-05/msg00073.html (8,388 bytes)

Re: Subject: steering cross tube (score: 1): Author: js <frodo4@ix.netcom.com>; Date: Wed, 17 May 2000 21:39:24 -0700; It is the caster that causes them to straighten when going forward (and not to when reversing!!). The point of contact of the wheel to the road is behind the "pivot point" (my term) of the wheel. Jus; /html/alpines/2000-05/msg00078.html (8,592 bytes)

Have you seen a grocery cart that has wobbling wheels? The "king-pin" is too close to vertical: it needs to be inclined slightly.
