Where the ground trail figure is the same, the self-centring castor effect will be greatest in the 0° castor angle example. This is because it depends on the length of the lever arm (i.e. the line drawn perpendicular to the castor angle across to the centre of the tyre contact patch). The longer the lever arm, the stronger the self-centring.

Over to you, Tony...



Don't know about oscillations though
