S. No. Word Meaning/Explanation/Short description


1 Pipe V/S Tube Pipe measured by inner diameter and thickness
While tube is measured my outer diameter and
thickness.
2 Camber A measurement of wheel angle relative to
vertical as viewed from the front or rear of the
car.
3 Caster A measurement of angle relative to the vertical
as viewed from the side, between the axis
defined by the upper and lower rod ends.

4 Factor of Safety Factors of safety (FoS), is also known as (and


used interchangeably with) safety factor (SF), is
a term describing the load carrying capability of
a system beyond the expected or actual loads.
5 ABS (Anti-lock braking system) Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is an automobile
safety system that allows the wheels on a
motor vehicle to maintain tractive contact with
the road surface according to driver inputs
while braking, preventing the wheels from
locking up and avoiding uncontrolled skidding.
6 Toe in and toe out Toe In occurs when the front of the tires
“pinch” into the centerline of the car.
Toe Out occurs when the front of the tires
points away from the centerline of the car.
7 Crankshaft A crankshaft—related to crank—is a mechanical
part able to perform a conversion between
reciprocating motion and rotational motion.

8 Stroke(engine) The volume swept by the piston cylinder while


travelling front Top dead center to Bottom
dead center.

9 Differential A differential is a gear train with three shafts


that has the property that the rotational speed
of one shaft is the average of the speeds of the
others, or a fixed multiple of that average.
10 Buckling Buckling is characterized by a sudden sideways
deflection of a structural member. This may
occur even though the stresses that develop in
the structure are well below those needed to
cause failure of the material of which the
structure is composed.
