   Draw a line through the ball joint centers and through the center of the   
   tires contact patch. Where they intersect upon touching the pavement   
   shows the scrub radius.   
   However it isn't quite that simple as it changes with ride height, tire   
   flex and anything else that changes the tire location or size.   
   Alignment, rim offset, tire size, tire inflation, any weight changes in   
   the vehicle parts wear, all can change it.
