I can't recall the true math at the moment,
the simple math was to measure camber at exactly plus and minus 20 degrees of steering.

then sum the two values from;
chamber at +20 degrees minus 90
chamber at -20 degrees minus 90
then multiply that sum by 1.5 will give caster.

However it doesnt let you know is it is positive or negative caster. AND the 20 degrees steer determines that the 1.5 constant, differnt turn angle needs differnt multiplier

the multipier for different total steer angles would be 57.3/total steer angle. this actually has the multiplier as 1.43 for the 40 degrees total steer (close enough)
