Subject:Re: Kingpin inclination spec for Vanagons?

No, it is not caster.

The spec I'm looking for is the inclination of the steering pivot
(line drawn through ball joints, kingpin, or other pivot, depending
on design) as viewed from the front of the vehicle. Caster is viewed
from side of the vehicle.

See <http://www.dnai.com/~voicebox/misc/susp.jpg>

Any takers?
