PURPOSE: A caster angle adjuster for a vehicle is provided to improve travel stability regardless of the gradient of the road by adjusting the caster angle automatically according to inclination during traveling. CONSTITUTION: A caster angle adjusting apparatus of a vehicle is composed of a vehicle position detecting sensor(30) detecting the gradient of the vehicle; neutral position sensors(21,41) detecting motion of a lower arm by sensing the distance between a vehicle body part and the lower arm; hydraulic cylinders(A,B,C,D) moving the lower arms; hydraulic pumps(6,8) supplying hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic cylinders; and a caster angle control unit(10) operating the hydraulic pump according to signals from the vehicle position detecting sensor and the neutral position sensors. Travel stability is improved by automatically adjusting the caster angle according to the gradient during traveling.
