...caster is "how far" the tire patch contacts the road AHEAD/BEHIND the projected pivot/axle.
...if the contact point is right under the pivot or behind it, you end up with the "grocery-cart" vibrations.
...if the contact point is too far forward, the tire edges will be scrubbed with every light turn, which definitely will kill FE (and the tires!).
