It's called caster angle, or Kingpin angle. Believe it or not, it's more important than your pinion angle. Tilt it back 5-7° at ride height. This will give you good road manners, good steering, as well as return-to-center.

Also, search, search, and search some more. There is a little bit of information here, but a WEALTH of information on the internet as a whole about setting up caster angle.....
