It is not implemented. I'll have a look asap.

Thank you!

I am slowly snailing through the code.

It looks like there was an attempt of bringing in the full double wishbone suspension geometry (coordinates of body attachments and hub point) but that was abandoned, still even though this is great and will help determining accurate wheel hub position still wheel axis is not necessarily at the centre or even on the centreline of the hub.

So maybe sin(caster angle) x wheel radius is good approximation which can be overriden with something like "caster-distance=0.015" in suspension section?

Some racing chassis manufacturers spare engineers from tedious calculations and just quote caster distance in a manual.
