Some one will post specifics,but they are the position of the tire in an xyz axis(3 dimensional). Like if the top of the tire is tipped in or out compared to the bottom (on the axel),and if the tire is pointed inward or outward in relation to the axel. That is a ROUGH explanation! :cheers:

Caster telly you how hard it feels to turn the wheel
Camber telly you how fast the wheel transfers latteral inputs to the chassis
Toe tells you whether the car is stable at thigh speeds (rear) and how dead the steeringing feels on center (front).
