Q: What is camber? – Rich
A: Dear Rich,
Camber is the angle between the wheel and the road as viewed from the front of the vehicle. At zero degrees, the wheel is straight up and down and the tread flat on the road. The manufacturer sets the camber for optimal control and tire wear. Today, many automakers specify slightly negative camber – the bottom of the tire slightly further out than the top – to improve cornering. Too negative, and camber wear results on the inside tire edge; too positive, on the outside edge. Camber is not adjustable on many front-wheel drive cars and requires replacement parts to correct faulty alignment.
