SLA = short long arm (double wishbone is one variant of this)

Kingpin is the axis about which the upright/hub assembly turns when you steer. In Macpherson strut suspensions, this is the strut (that's why it isn't adjustable). The angle of kingpin has effects on the return to center ability of your steering, and on steering feel.
