What is the function of steering axis inclination (SAI)?

What will be an ideal response?


SAI has three functions:
1. After a turn, SAI helps the vehicle return to straight ahead.
2. SAI keeps the vehicle going straight down the road. Although positive caster does this as well, more positive caster makes it harder to steer.
3. SAI allows the vehicle to have less positive caster (for easier steering) while still having good directional stability.
