The topic in this article is the influence of the caster angle of the automobile. High speed and large steering is a working condition that a racing car must experience, this paper is eager to find the law of the influence of caster angle of kingpin on steering instability under high speed and large steering condition.The caster angle of the Kingpin is of great significance to the steering of a vehicle. On the one hand, it determines the stability of a vehicle when it is running in a straight line, and on the other hand, it determines the return force of the steering wheel when it is turning. In contrast, a smaller caster angle makes steering easier, but less stable at high speeds, while a larger caster angle means a slower steering with a more pronounced return to normal but better stability at high speeds, the determination of the magnitude of the caster angle is very important for the ride comfort of the vehicle.
